According to the terms of the MoU, L&T will become a partner for engineering, procurement, construction, installation & commissioning (EPCIC) of the topsides for H2C’s floating process plants.
H2C plans to build the P2XFloater hull at yards in Asia and L&T will design and fabricate the topside process and utility modules to produce green hydrogen & green ammonia, including electrolysers, nitrogen generation plant, and ammonia synthesis unit. Installation of the topsides modules on the hull and its integration can be customised as per location preferences, can be carried out in India or in other geographies.
