“Water is the coal of the future. The energy of tomorrow is water that has been broken down by electricity. The elements of water broken down in this way elements of water, hydrogen and oxygen, will secure the earth’s energy supply secure the earth’s energy supply for the unforeseeable future.”

Quote from the author Jules Verne in “The Mysterious Island” (1870)

Some visionaries recognised the potential of hydrogen as an energy source early on. Its greatest advantage is that it can be available in unlimited quantities and produces no harmful emissions during consumption. Our aim is to realise sustainable transport solutions for the new energy carrier.

The new world of hydrogen

There are only a few alternatives available to put fossil fuels out of the running once and for all. Electricity may be a good solution in some places. But not in all. Even the most banal industrial processes and trades cannot do without gas combustion. Hydrogen can easily replace butane gas and natural gas.

Hydrogen can form the basis for the production of energy sources that are easier to store, such as green methanol. And it can generate electricity in fuel cells more effectively than other substances.

It is a pure illusion that Europe will be able to produce its own hydrogen requirements. It will have to be imported and this will require correspondingly LARGE means of transport – tankers. We will now build them.

HYTRA has managed to develop an innovative ship design that leaves conventional LNG tanker designs far behind… That’s why we have applied for patents to take the next step in climate change.

These first series of liquid hydrogen (LH2) tankers have an impressive 60,000 cubic metre capacity and offer the flexibility for further scalability if required, with the current size being sixty times larger than the current liquid hydrogen (LH2) tanker.

The ships are characterised by their high efficiency and cost-effective transport capability and will therefore play a major role in the growth of the hydrogen market. We will be transporting hydrogen for around $2.00 per kilogram for our first project, setting us well ahead of current prices!

What does the future hold?

Our first projects are aimed at entering the bulk transport of liquid hydrogen(LH2) to North America and Europe. This will reduce the current inflated price of hydrogen and thus provide decisive impetus for the further development of the introduction of hydrogen. In our future projects the price will drop even more…

About us

HYTRA UG was born out of the idea of actively contributing to decarbonization by supporting the new hydrogen economy.

Our mission is simple: we want to plan, organize and implement the large-scale transport of hydrogen.

Most people think mainly about the production and use of hydrogen, but not about transportation. Many people may think this is simple, but it is not. Hydrogen is light and takes up a large volume for a small mass. So someone has to come up with clever solutions for transportation.

This is, what we exactly do now.
