TECO 2030‘s containerized hydrogen fuel system wins green light from DNV

Norwegian-based cleantech company TECO 2030 has won Approval in Principle from DNV classification society for its compressed hydrogen fuel system design.

The AIP affirms the viability and safety of the solution, TECO 2030 said, adding that the milestone is a further step forward in the development of sustainable propulsion solutions for the maritime industry.

These systems are designed to be applicable for all ship types and encompass essential components such as the bunkering system, inerted tank connection space, fuel storage hold space, fuel supply system (including pressure control), and gas relief system.

Prior to construction and installation onboard any specific vessel subject to classification, TECO 2030 plans to provide a complete set of documentation tailored to the particular ship. This documentation will undergo thorough review and approval by DNV in accordance with established classification procedures.

“We are delighted to receive this additional Approval in Principle from DNV for our compressed hydrogen fuel systems. This recognition validates our commitment and competence to driving sustainability in the maritime sector and underscores the potential of hydrogen as a clean energy solution for the future of shipping. We remain dedicated to advancing our technology and working collaboratively with industry partners to accelerate the transition towards zero-emission shipping,” Tore Enger, Group CEO, TECO 2030, said.
