H2Carrier intends to develop two wind farms in far northern Norway with a combined capacity of 1.55 GW, which will power offshore hydrogen and ammonia production.

H2Carrier: integrated wind energy & offshore ammonia production in Norway
Maritime developments: on-water cracking, AiPs and Singapore bunker study releases first results
In maritime ammonia updates this week:
- In Europe, government funding will support the development of an ammonia cracking system that can be installed on existing LNG vessels (Norway), and the establishment of a floating production and storage facility connected to an offshore wind farm (Netherlands).
- Two AiPs have been granted: one for Korea’s first ammonia FSRU vessel, the other for a bunkering tanker in Singapore.
- H2Carrier and Trelleborg will develop a ship-to-ship ammonia transfer system.
- And GCMD has unveiled the results of their Singaporean ammonia bunker study. All risks identified for conducting pilot projects were found to be low or mitigable, with work towards those pilots to continue.
Enabling offshore production: jetty-less terminals & floating ammonia factories
Our last episode of Maritime Ammonia Insights featured new technologies being developed for the emerging offshore ammonia production industry. We explored SBM & Imodco’s jetty-less export terminal, H2Carrier’s P2X Floater vessel and CyaNH3’s FPSO hull design, as well as the unique opportunities on offer for floating ammonia producers.
Offshore ammonia production in Greenland
H2Carrier and wind project developer Anori will jointly develop Greenland’s first commercial wind farm, which will power the offshore production of ammonia via H2Carrier’s P2XFloater™ vessels. The project could produce as much as 900,000 tonnes of ammonia per year, targeting export markets. H2Carrier also announced that Larsen & Toubro will design & construct the “topside” sections of the P2XFloater™ vessels in India, with the hulls to be built in Asia.
Offshore ammonia - part of the future
Explore the potential of offshore ammonia production, storage and export assets with three leading organisations in the space: SBM/IMODCO, H2Carrier, and CyaNH3.
Floating production of hydrogen & ammonia
H2 Carrier's P2XFloater™ concept received Approval in Principle from DNV in late August. With beginnings in the oil industry, Floating Production units have played a vital role, extending the life of offshore fields and allowing for greater flexibility in production & transfer of product. As the energy transition gathers pace, so-called “Floaters” represent an immediate opportunity to fully leverage new Power-to-X projects, allowing for offshore production of hydrogen and ammonia.
Ammonia-ready, ammonia-fueled and on-water ammonia production
Following last month’s shipbuilding news from China, this week we explore three ammonia-related announcements from Norway-based players:
1. Breeze Ship Design’s ammonia-fueled oil tanker design, with a demonstration vessel to be eventually chartered to Equinor.
2. An order for six ammonia-ready, robotic offshore vessels from VARD.
3. And the P2XFloater, a new vessel concept from H2Carrier for the world’s first floating, industrial-scale ammonia production plant.
