Provaris Energy Ltd updated shareholders on development activity progress in Norway and commercialisation activities for compressed hydrogen supply chains in Europe using Provaris’ proprietary storage and carrier solutions.
A key milestone has been achieved for the Prototype Tank program underway in Norway, with Prodtex completing the design for a multi-layered carbon-steel prototype tank to be constructed and tested in the first quarter of 2024. The successful completion of the testing program is the final requirement for Class Approval of the H2Neo carrier to be provided by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV), who will survey the construction and participate in the testing of the prototype tank. The prototype testing will be performed by SINTEF, a recognized research facility in Norway.
Through an extension of prototype tank design, Provaris has developed initial concepts that will have relevance to a range of hydrogen applications. The tank structure will be based on the use of multi-layered carbon-steel which has a design pressure of 250 barg. The initial design concepts will have a capacity of 1, 5 and 10 tonnes of gaseous hydrogen. Being made of carbon-steel, the tanks will not target the mobility market for transport, however it can have applications in areas such as, but not limited to, maritime (hydrogen as fuel), mobility (storage at refuelling station), and as buffer storage at the battery limits of industry and power generation (to complement pipeline connections) as an alternative to containerized composite solutions available in the market today.
