Abstract

Dette speciale vurderer, om det er teknisk og økonomisk muligt at etablere bunkringsfaciliteter til e-ammoniak i Esbjerg Havn. E-ammoniak er ammoniak produceret med vedvarende elektricitet og foreslået som et mere klimavenligt brændstof til skibe. Bunkringsfaciliteter omfatter de systemer, der skal lagre, håndtere og forsyne skibe med brændstof. Undersøgelsen fokuserer på, hvordan sådanne anlæg kan understøtte udviklingen af nordiske grønne skibskorridorer, altså ruter hvor lavemissionsfartøjer kan regne med en stabil brændstofforsyning.

This thesis assesses whether it is technically and economically feasible to establish e-ammonia bunkering infrastructure at the Port of Esbjerg. E-ammonia is ammonia produced with renewable electricity and proposed as a cleaner marine fuel. Bunkering infrastructure includes the storage, handling, and refueling systems needed to supply ships. The study focuses on how such facilities could support the development of Nordic green shipping corridors—routes where low-emission vessels can rely on a dependable fuel supply.
