The role Gas and Heat can play in the LH2 supply chain
Gas and Heat - proven Supplier of Liquid Hydrogen Tanks
An exclusivity agreement with Gas and Heat based in Italy, a specialized integrator of cryogenic handling systems for the marine and onshore industries. Cargo tanks are built at the same premises where the complete system design and project management are performed.
Gas and Heat possess a wealth of knowledge and experience with LH2 containment and handling systems from their involvement as tank suppliers to the European Space Agency (Germany and France).
We leverage the learnings from over 30 years of LH2 storage and handling experience in both operations and safety.
Gas and Heat will supply the cargo tanks for both the vessel and onshore terminal, ensuring economies of scale to optimize costs and standardization of design.

Gas and Heat role - Description of LH2 Cargo Containment & Handling System
Approval in principle - Main Codes and Standards:
- IMO International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code).
- Resolution MSC.565 (108) Revised Interim Recommendations for Carriage of Liquefied Hydrogen in Bulk
- SIGTTO Manifold Recommendations for Liquefied Gas Carriers (LNG) Edition 2011 (as far as practical)

Our Unique Cargo Containment System
- Vacuum insulation to achieve near zero convective heat losses.
- Special insulation to minimize radiative heat losses.
- Unique support design to minimize conductive heat losses.
- Each tank provided with its cradles and a platform on the tank top where the tank outfittings (piping, valves, instruments, cables, insulation) are installed and tested, ready to operate
