Marine Fuel Cell Propulsion

Oceanslab has announced the launch of hydrogen fuel cell solutions to accelerate maritime decarbonisation through clean tech spin off company genevos.

Marine fuel cell propulsion.

Able practice as the industry increasingly adopts fuel cell systems abs will soon publish a fuel cell guide on marine applications for the technology including propulsion and other auxiliary uses. The dawn of hydrogen as a marine fuel. Bldp today announced the launch of the fuel cell industry s first module designed for primary propulsion power in marine vessels ballard s fcwave tm fuel cell product is a 200 kilowatt kw modular unit that can be scaled in series up to the multi megawatt mw power level. Fuel cell powered marine propulsion market analysis december 29 2019 to curb pollution produced by the world s ships the international maritime organization imo will enforce new emissions standards on january 1 2020 effectively banning use of fuel with a sulfur content higher than 0 5 percent compared to 3 5 percent at present unless.

Hdw to develop a fuel cell based propulsion system equipped with methanol reformer technology in which the methanol is converted into hydrogen. Mahle has brought together its fuel cell activities in a project house where one area of focus is the development of components for fuel cell systems in commercial vehicles. Hydrogen fuel cell power a proven zero emission solution for powering transit buses trucks and other heavy duty transport offers real potential for a variety of marine vessels. Ballard power systems has launched what it says is the fuel cell industry s first module designed for primary propulsion power in marine vessels.

According to genevos hydrogen fuel cells are typically 2 3 times the efficiency of marine diesel engines and 60 75 lower weight than an all electric system using the latest lithium battery. Ballard s says its fcwave fuel cell product is a 200 kilowatt kw modular unit that can be scaled in series up to the multi megawatt mw power level the fcwave product provides primary propulsion power for marine vessels such as passenger and car ferries river push boats and fishing boats as well as stationary electrical power. Powered by renewable hydrogen fuel cell systems are the most practical viable zero emission solution. It will offer a struc tured approach to the application of fuel cell systems in a format that is flexible enough to include other gas eous fuels.
