The P2XFloater™
The world’s first floating production unit for producing green ammonia at an industrial scale
Using established engineering and technology combined with centralized assembly and construction allows for a high quality vessel with competitive cost. Unlike other green ammonia production facility, the P2XFloater™ does hardly requires leasing or purchasing of land, storage tanks, pier construction or constructional and operational concessions. P2XFloater™ is also flexible in its positioning, as it can be situated where renewable energy has the lowest cost. This allows the P2XFloater to utilize the lowest renewable power prices in the world, thus producing extremely cost competitive green ammonia.
Green hydrogen is produced by seawater which is purified and fed into electrolyzers. The green hydrogen is combined with nitrogen extracted from the air and synthesized in an ammonia generator to produce green ammonia.
All steps are powered by renewable wind, solar or hydro energy through a high capacity power cable from a renewable power source next to the P2XFloater™.
H2Carrier has a partnership with Trelleborg to use their KLAW LNG liquid gas transfer solution. This enables the P2XFloater™ to export ammonia to transport vessels directly using ship-to-ship transfer of liquid ammonia through hoses. This will minimize the need for onshore infrastructure and essentially makes the side of the P2XFloater™ an export terminal.
Minimized onshore infrastructure
The P2XFloater only requires a sheltered location and a few hardpoints for mooring. The flexible mooring system enable the vessel to move with the tide. This enables the vessel to be positioned for projects where access to land area is challenging and/or minimize site preparation and impact on nature.
Other benefits of a floating production plant is less exposure to earthquakes and flooding.
Standardization and replication
Unlike traditional FPSOs and FLNGs from the oil and gas sector where the process plant needed to be designed for a specific oil/gas well, the P2XFloater can be standardized to a much larger extent.
With renewable energy, water and air as input, several P2XFloaters can be constructed based on the same design, reducing engineering costs, and construction contingency. This is why H2Carrier are focusing on three standardized designs of 200MW, 500MW and 1GW.
This enables rapid scaling up of production and cost benefits across projects and geographies.
