Development Completed for the First Floating Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Cracker

Post Date:

A major milestone for hydrogen infrastructure: the world’s first floating ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker has been developed by Höegh Evi and Wärtsilä Gas Solutions.

Designed for Europe’s energy transition, the floating terminal can crack ammonia into hydrogen at industrial scale — up to 210,000 tonnes annually. With modular designs, these floating platforms could play a vital role in meeting the EU’s REPower target of importing 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year by 2030.

While this is a Europe-focused project, it also resonates in Asia. Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy identifies ammonia as a key hydrogen carrier — and floating infrastructure could offer flexible solutions for future maritime and energy hubs.

As the global hydrogen economy takes shape, innovations like this will be critical in enabling scalable, flexible, and cleaner energy systems.
