Chart and GasLog in LH2 pact

US-based LNG equipment maker Chart Industries will collaborate with Greek LNG shipping firm GasLog to study the development of a commercial scale liquefied hydrogen (LH2) supply chain.

This collaboration will leverage GasLog’s latest developments of a liquefied hydrogen vessel and Chart’s experience in cryogenics and large-scale liquefaction solutions for the global distribution of LH2, according to a joint statement.

It aims to support GasLog’s participation in recently announced projects to develop a commercial scale LH2 supply chain from export markets in the Middle East to European and Asian destinations for onward distribution by liquid transportation and/or gas via pipelines to various end users, the partners said.

Also, Chart said it will leverage its over 158 years of hydrogen experience for this collaboration through hydrogen compression, liquefaction and refrigeration technologies, and cryogenic loading/unloading operations, amongst other products.

GasLog’s CEO Paolo Enoizi said this collaboration is the company’s “commitment to explore and support the use of hydrogen, via liquid form, to benefit industries and users globally.”

“I have confidence that our combined experience from the cryogenic industries will ensure the safety and efficiency of novel liquid hydrogen supply chains across the world,” he said.

As of February 15, 2024, GasLog’s owned LNG carrier fleet consisted of 24 vessels while its bareboat fleet consisted of nine vessels.

Jill Evanko, CEO and president of Chart welcomed the new collaboration with GasLog.

“We see a significant momentum shift from export developers discussing ammonia supply chains twelve months ago to LH2 supply chains today,” Evanko said.
