It seems like you don't know what you are talking about.
8 GW is the capacity or max output of the power plant. Shipping 8 GW???? What are you talking about??
The power plant is premised to produce 8GW of energy,. This would be exported in the form of hydrogen. The energy content of the transported hydrogen needs to represent this energy export.
BTW, LNG ships capacity is measured in cubic metres, not tonnes. Standard size is around 150000m3.
Yes, 150k m^3. The density of LNG is 420 kg / m^3. Multiply these figures together and you get 63000 kg, event higher than the figure I provided. I was being generous and only using a 4x spherical tank MOSS carrier rather tan a 5x tank carrier. You have successfully made this concept look even worse.
YOU'RE CALCULATIONS ARE ALL INVERTED!!!
You are calculations? Firstly, you are barely literate. Secondly, if you are going to make accusations about the veracity of my calculations you should provide some specific examples about where I might be wrong. My numbers are spot on. I am certain of it.
Therfore, because the h2 molecule is so small and light, we only need to compress the gas and not liquify it. Thus easily economically being able to transport to Japan, China and Korea, at a minimum, as stated by DF.
I provided my working. The working already considers the relative energy density of the compressed hydrogen. This premise is not economical.
If we liquify, we can increase the capacity.
Not practical. The concept proposed here is compressed hydrogen. This is the concept I have assessed. Liquefaction of hydrogen is not achievable at industrial scale.
Oh, and your hydrogen vs diesel energy density is completely wrong as well.
Not true. A typical Suexmax tanker uses about 70 m^3 of diesel per day for transportation. I converted this to an equivalent energy consumption of hydrogen. Yes hydrogen has a higher energy content per kg. I accounted for this, my numbers were spot on.
BTW, the gev ship is just the beginning, it will be scaled up very quickly, just the way the LNG ships evolved.
The ship proposed is already Suezmax size, did you not see the image? It's f*in massive mate. It cannot be scaled up much due to inherent constraints in the shipping industry.
Don't know why they just don't convert the lng ships to h2, just like the pipeline??
LNG carriers transport liquid methane, with a boiling point of 112K. Hydrogen has a boiling point of just 20K. The two concepts are not remotely comparable. It is not practical to liquefy H2, and in any case, this isn't the design concept which is being proposed.
SO I am not sure if you're down ramping or just have your facts wrong. So please, double check your facts before you insinuate this project is uneconomical.
I am 100% certain of my figures. Try prove me wrong.
