Young entrepreneurs from Rostock revolutionize hydrogen transport with millions of investment!

Rostock, Deutschland - The 20-year-old entrepreneur Paul Louis Kiesow plans to change the hydrogen industry in a revolutionary manner. As the managing director of Hytra, he commutes between Rostock and the Persian Gulf and is recently successful with an investor deal from Qatar over 10 million euros. According to the Ostsee-Zeitung its company develops an innovative transport ship that represents a milestone in the shipping industry with a transport capacity of 60,000 cubic meters of liquid hydrogen.

Hytra pursues the goal of developing a transport ship that can transport 60 times more hydrogen than the largest current tankers. In addition, the company has already received a patent for its innovative ship. Kiesow, who has been enthusiastic about physics since childhood, recognized the immense potential of hydrogen during his school days. To realize his vision, Christof Schramm was won as a partner who has 26 years of experience in project management.

innovations in hydrogen technology

Hytra has identified two central challenges in hydrogen transport: the design of the ships and the associated tanks. The new ships should not only have a considerable capacity, but can also drive almost twice as fast as conventional models. In cooperation with researchers from Oxford and Bremen, the company has already developed innovations that could be important in the hydrogen economy.

In order to further promote research and development, Hytra is planning a new office in Dubai, which is to be opened by August at the latest. According to Kiesow, the current investor scene in Germany is not suitable for its projects. The reasons for this could be the ambitious plans of the Gulf States who want to convert their fossil energy sources into a hydrogen economy.

strategic partnerships for the future

The latest Hytra partnership with Tin Ltd. From Doha, Qatar, should accelerate the technical design and implementation of large hydrogen carriers and port infrastructures. This was sealed by a contract that was signed on May 11, 2025. The investment of 10 million euros should enable special LH2 terminals to build on selected target ports, which is of crucial importance for the export of hydrogen from the golf region to markets in Asia and Europe. The first tankers will have an impressive transport capacity of at least 4,500 metric tons of liquid hydrogen, as Tin Ltd. emphasized.

The initiative is part of a larger concept that is promoted in Germany to reach greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. Green hydrogen technologies are a central component of the national hydrogen strategy (NWS), and the need for suitable memory and transport infrastructures is according to Fraunhofer continue to rise by 2030. The transhyde project focuses on developing hydrogen infrastructures in order to be able to use future amounts of hydrogen.

Hytra, under the direction of Kiesow, could therefore take on a key role in the global hydrogen market and has ambitious plans to transport hydrogen worldwide by the end of the decade. A clear focus on innovation and strategic partnerships could help the company as one of the best in this emerging sector.
