Headway Unveils Future-Proof Carbon Value Chain in SMM 2024
Headway Technology Group, a global leader in low-carbon shipping solutions, showcased its innovative carbon cycle value chain at the "Shipowners Forum Germany 2024", held by TradeWinds on the first day of SMM 2024.
At 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 emphasized its commitment to advancing sustainable shipping practices and explored potential collaborations for decarbonization 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 and Methanol/Ammonia Fuel Supply Systems (LFSS/AFSS), along with cutting-edge technologies like solid-state hydrogen storage and AEM hydrogen production, offer shipowners practical solutions to meet their decarbonization goals. Headway is collaborating with China Energy Engineering Corporation and PowerChina to develop an integrated hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project further strengthens its position in the carbon cycle value chain. This project aims to address the challenges of utilizing 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.
