Hexagon Purus lands €2.5M hydrogen gas design yelp for fresh Greenpeace ship

Norwegian neat energy technology dealer Hexagon Purus Maritime has secured a maintain yelp yelp for a compressed hydrogen gas design to be oldschool on a brand fresh green sailing ship commissioned by worldwide non-revenue group Greenpeace.

The yelp, valued at roughly €2.5 million, became as soon as positioned by Spain’s Freire Shipyard which could secure the 75-meter vessel featuring superior green technologies, at the side of hydrogen and e-methanol energy programs.

Provide of the hydrogen gas design is scheduled for 2027.

Designed by Dykstra, the ship will seemingly be equipped with better than 2,000 square meters of sails supporting energy regeneration on board, battery packs, and solar panels. This could well honest harness the energy of the wind and the sun.

 This could well honest furthermore characteristic superior energy programs enabling the spend of green hydrogen and e-methanol to fulfill its ideal energy wants.

“Hexagon Purus is dedicated to actively main the methodology in developing zero-emission decisions”, acknowledged Guillermo Freire, Managing Director, Freire Shipyard. “After a comprehensive gentle job, we modified into confident that Hexagon Purus Maritime had the flexibility and top possible technical capabilities to bring on this thrilling venture.”
