Svanehoj: From Oil to Electrofuels

In a new white paper, Svanehøj looks into Power-to-X (PtX), which could be a key technology in the transition away from fossil fuels. PtX offers a solution to convert electricity from renewable energy sources into carbon-neutral synthetic fuels – gas or liquid – which can be stored and used to power ships, aeroplanes and other heavy transportation.

The transition will not be made overnight, as huge investments are required to build an efficient supply chain. It may take decades for electrofuels to be competitive in terms of price and availability. In the meantime, future-proof solutions are needed to provide shipowners with the flexibility to adapt to rapidly changing regulations and market developments.

The Svanehøj Deepwell Fuel Pump is a solution which enables ships to comply with current and future requirements. The pump was developed for LNG, but it is fully compatible with other liquid gas fuels such as ethane, Ammonia and LPG, as well as synthetic carbon-free electrofuels such as ammonia and SNG.
