The Launch of the Hydrogen Production Ship Is Scheduled for 2024, Being Part of the Wind Hunter Project by the Japanese Company

The Japanese giant Mitsui O.S.K Lines (MOL) will venture into the West, specifically Brazil. The current project is a ship equipped with several rigid sails that will produce hydrogen. The venture will be launched in 2024 and is part of the company’s portfolio that seeks applications for wind energy and fuel from hydrogen.

The ships used in the Japanese company’s venture will be equipped with rigid and foldable sails, used on ships capable of absorbing energy from strong winds that generate hydrogen, according to a publication from the PetroNotícias portal.

Thus, with all the technology equipped, the ship would not require refueling, being powered by wind propulsion along with the hydrogen produced.

More Features of the Hydrogen Ship

In addition to all the rigid sail apparatus, the ship will also have underwater turbines that will generate electricity that would be used to electrolyze seawater and produce hydrogen. The hydrogen will be stored in a tank in the form of liquid methylcyclohexane (MCH).

If the winds are weak during navigation, the ship could use the hydrogen produced for its own supply and continue sailing. The venture is being designed by the Japanese company to ensure the ship is 100% autonomous, without humans on board, being controlled with digital technology.

According to the Japanese company: “By 2030, we expect to build a large hydrogen-producing cargo ship with zero emissions. There are still many challenges to be solved, but taking on challenges is what we do at Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, and this is a journey that will chart a direct course to the future.”
