In an attempt to reduce the ocean’s plastic pollution a New York based naval architect firm H2 industries designed a unique ship that can collect the plastic waste from the ocean and transform it into clean hydrogen.
The naval architect firm announced that the ship would be more than 150 meters in length. It has the ability to capture the plastic waste present up to 10 meters below the surface which will be stored in two storage vessels that funnels the waste. This collected plastic waste will further be sent to the plant to transform it into hydrogen. “For every 600 kg of waste collected about 100 kg of hydrogen can be produced and then, stored as liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) which is an oil-like liquid carrier medium for hydrogen”, the statement added.
The official statement also highlighted that the ship will use electric motors which will be powered by the produced liquid hydrogen. While highlighting the aim and the scope of the project in reducing the global GHG emissions the CEO of the H2 Industries Michael Stussch said, “It is becoming increasingly clear that the shipping industry can make a positive impact on reducing global emissions”.
