Qingdao-based maritime technology firm Headway Technology Group (Headway) on Wednesday (4 September) said it showcased its innovative carbon cycle value chain at the Shipowners Forum Germany 2024, on the first day of SMM 2024 in Hamburg.
During the forum, Headway engaged in fruitful discussions with key industry players, including representatives from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), German Shipowners’ Association, DNV, Mærsk, Hapag-Lloyd, Norden, and others.
The company emphasised its commitment to advancing sustainable shipping practices and explored potential collaborations for decarbonisation initiatives.
During his speech, Mr. Kechao Lu, Director of Headway’s Strategy & Development Department, outlined Headway’s comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges of green shipping.
The company’s ecosystem focuses on three core areas: Carbon Neutrality, Water Treatment, and Smart Shipping.
Headway’s latest products, such as the Onboard Carbon Capture System (OCCS) and Methanol/Ammonia Fuel Supply Systems (LFSS/AFSS), along with advanced technologies like solid-state hydrogen storage and AEM hydrogen production, offer shipowners practical solutions to meet their decarbonisation goals.
At the event, Headway also announced it is collaborating with China Energy Engineering Corporation and PowerChina to develop an integrated hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project, further strengthening its position in the carbon cycle value chain.
The project aims to address the challenges of utilising captured CO2, providing shipowners with a holistic approach to achieving low-carbon operations.
“The positive response from attendees at the forum highlighted the growing interest in Headway’s solutions. Shipowners were eager to learn more about the company’s technical advantages, practical applications, and the viability of its carbon cycle ecosystem,” the firm said.
The 31st SMM Hamburg International Maritime Trade Fair (SMM 2024) is taking place from 3 to 6 September.
Headway’s continued participation in SMM 2024, now in its eighth year, demonstrates its commitment to driving sustainable shipping innovation.
The company’s booth (A1-229) features interactive displays of its low-carbon solutions, carbon cycle value chain, and 3D performances.
