McDermott International stated that its CB&I Storage Solutions division has completed design work on a 40,000 cubic meter liquid hydrogen sphere as part of a study commissioned earlier this year by a major natural gas producer.
“Viable storage solutions play a critical role in supporting a large-scale hydrogen economy,” said Cesar Canals, Senior Vice President, CB&I Storage Solutions. “This study confirms the feasibility of scaling up liquid hydrogen solutions beyond what was previously thought possible and positions us to better serve our customers in this growing industry.”
The conceptual design for a double-wall liquid hydrogen sphere with a storage capacity of 40,000 cubic meters is nearly eight times larger than the world’s largest liquid hydrogen sphere, which CB&I Storage Solutions is currently building for NASA.
“This study is just the beginning of achieving what’s possible for liquid hydrogen storage,” said Samik Mukherjee, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “We believe our engineering expertise will make a real, tangible difference in realizing the energy transition.”
