The overall goal of LH2CRAFT is to develop next generation, sustainable, commercially attractive, and safe long-term storage and longdistance transportation of Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) for commercial vessels (or even as fuel in certain applications). It aims at developing an innovative containment system of membrane-type for high-capacity storage (e.g., 200,000 m3) at a temperature of -253 deg C and demonstrating and validating it on a 10 ton (180 m3) prototype. It foresees the analysis of alternative conceptual designs with safety and risk assessment initiated at an early stage of the design process of the cargo containment system (CCS) exceeding currently demonstrated sizes. The design will allow LH2 storage to large dimensions, similar to those of existing LNG carriers. Special characteristics (storage tank, handling, distribution,safety, and monitoring subsystems(HDMSS) of the conceptsthatsupport up- or down-scaling will be detailed in order to prove the modularity and scalability of the proposed solution. The CCS will achieve AiP and general approval by a major classification society (three IACS members are participating). Demonstration will be done via the detailed design, construction, and testing of the reduced size prototype. LH2CRAFT will also develop a preliminary integrated ship design and carry out the corresponding cost estimation, achieving reduced boil-off rates of 0.5 % per day. A life cycle model will provide a significant tool enabling comparison between different new design or retrofit strategies while the LCA of the large carrier will evaluate the environmental impact from cradle to grave identifying also activities related to sustainability and recyclability and determining the environmental benefits. Two societal objectives will be served: society’s needs and EU’s strong global maritime leadership for its innovation-driven industry providing highly skilled jobs, efficient technological solutions, and international regulatory standards.

LH2CRAFT的总体目标是为商用船舶（甚至在某些应用中作为燃料）开发下一代、可持续的、具有商业吸引力的、安全的长期储存和长途运输液氢（LH2）。它的目标是开发一种创新的膜式密封系统，用于在-253摄氏度的温度下进行高容量存储（例如200,000立方米），并在10吨（180立方米）的原型上进行演示和验证。报告预计，在设计过程的早期阶段，将对超过目前演示尺寸的货物密封系统（CCS）进行安全性和风险评估，并对备选概念设计进行分析。该设计将允许LH2储存到大尺寸，类似于现有的液化天然气运输船。将详细介绍支持向上或向下扩展的概念的特殊特性（储罐，处理，分配，安全和监控子系统（HDMSS）），以证明所提出解决方案的模块化和可扩展性。CCS将获得一个主要船级社的AiP和一般认可（三个IACS成员参加）。演示将通过详细设计、建造和缩小尺寸原型的测试来完成。LH2CRAFT还将开发一种初步的综合船舶设计，并进行相应的成本估算，实现每天降低0.5%的蒸发率。生命周期模型将提供一个重要的工具，可以比较不同的新设计或改造策略，而大型航母的LCA将评估从摇篮到坟墓的环境影响，确定与可持续性和可回收性相关的活动，并确定环境效益。两个社会目标将得到满足：社会需求和欧盟强大的全球海事领导地位，为其创新驱动的行业提供高技能工作，高效的技术解决方案和国际监管标准。
