Pherousa – she who carries – is the name of two different figures in Greek mythology.Pherousa both develops its own technology and also offers consulting services helping our customers navigating through the transition to ZERO emissions. For inquiries on our services and technology please contact us and we will get in touch with you.Pherousa is developing a solution for emission free deep-sea shipping. Pherousa will offer a flexible hydrogen propulsion system by solving the challenge of hydrogen storage capacity. Both ammonia and hydrogen can be used as fuels which gives the shipowners the opportunity to select the type of fuel.What differentiates Pherousa's solution from other zero-carbon and carbon dioxide capture solution is that we take into consideration the whole value chain of fuel: from production to bunkering and utilization with focus on flexibility and what is feasible today. We take a pragmatic approach and offer fuel flexibility to the ship owner: there is no need to commit to one type of fuel for propulsion. To our knowledge, there is no other comparable solution today.Pherousa intents to develop an ammonia cracker for the short term and a ceramic proton conducting fuel cells utilizing ammonia for the long term. Ammonia cracking to hydrogen on board a vessel can help shipowners to minimize the investment risk when installing propulsion systems to be carbon free. By choosing hydrogen fuel cells as the propulsion system with an ammonia cracker, the shipowner can start with ammonia and switch to hydrogen at any time with minimum investment risk. In that manner, using ammonia as hydrogen carrier facilitates the efforts for opening up the path to trade ammonia as a fuel in addition to a chemical commodity for the chemical and fertilizer industry.
