MUMBAI, India — Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and Oslo-based H2Carrier (H2C) have agreed to cooperate in the development of floating green ammonia projects.
Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU), L&T will provide EPCIC services for the topsides of H2C’s P2XFloater floating process plants.
H2C plans to build the hulls in yards in Asia. L&T will design and fabricate the topside process and utility modules to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia, including electrolyzers, nitrogen generation and ammonia synthesis.
Installation and integration of these modules onto the hulls could be customized to the location in India or elsewhere.
L&T has more than four decades of experience of constructing large-scale hydrogen, ammonia, methanol and derivative plant, and it is a specialist provider of large-scale modularization works for various offshore projects and offshore wind farms.
H2C’s P2XFloater for production and storage of floating green hydrogen and green ammonia facility is said to be based on proven floating production, storage and off-take technologies employed by the offshore oil and gas industry.
It also features an e-control system said to be capable of balancing renewable electricity feedstock through an integrated electrolyzer and Haber-Bosch system.
H2C, which plans to build, own/lease and operate a fleet of P2XFloaters, developed the concept with various maritime and process engineering companies in Norway. DNV has awarded the concept approval in principle.
Mårten Lunde, CEO of H2C, said, "Our P2XFloater design represents a solution, which addresses a number of concerns for renewable energy projects: costs, time, use of land and environmental footprint, lengthy planning and regulation processes, etc."
