Air Liquide now also supplies hydrogen to second vessel operating in the Rhine Delta
Air Liquide and Future Proof Shipping (FPS) have successfully proposed the second zero-emission hydrogen-powered barge: the H2 Barge 2. The realisation of this project is another step towards decarbonising inland shipping, replacing traditional shipping fuel with hydrogen.
Under an earlier long-term agreement, Air Liquide will supply hydrogen through a specially designed hydrogen storage unit suitable for inland shipping. Hydrogen is stored in compressed form in containers that will be used as on-board fuel tanks. The solution designed by Air Liquide allows for quick and safe hydrogen refilling.
