Green hydrogen production and supply chain

Electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to power electric motors in aircraft.

Innovative ship hull geometry developed to accommodate high-volume, low-weight liquid hydrogen cargo without requiring ballast water compensation.

Cryogenic storage of hydrogen in liquid form for efficient maritime transport. The tanker uses three specialized tanks with lower boil-off rates than conventional maritime systems.
