About ammonia cracking and clean hydrogen  

Hydrogen is emerging as a viable future fuel in the move away from fossil fuels, and can be produced at a relatively low cost in countries where there is ample access to renewable power. However, it is difficult to store and transport hydrogen, due to its low volumetric energy density and with potentially large vaporisation losses. Ammonia is significantly better suited than hydrogen for this purpose. It can be stored in liquid form at moderate pressures and temperatures, and transported over long distances by ship. When it arrives at the receiving destination, the ammonia cracker will convert the ammonia back to hydrogen for distribution into the core energy grid. 

About Höegh Evi: 

Höegh Evi is the vital link to secure transition-delivering fast, adaptable, and secure solutions that respond to countries' evolving energy needs. For 50 years, Höegh Evi has been a pioneer and global leader in floating energy infrastructure, with one of the world's largest fleets of FSRUs (floating storage and regasification units) for importing natural gas.

Today, Höegh Evi is building the infrastructure needed to make transition possible, with floating terminals for ammonia and hydrogen import, the world's first floating ammonia-to-hydrogen cracker, and services for carbon transport and permanent storage.
