Nuvera Fuel Cells announced that it has signed an agreement with the Italian H2BOAT in Italy to provide fuel cells for the application of hydrogen -powered ships.
According to Mou, Nuvera will provide an E-45 fuel cell engine for maritime approval and then integrated into its expected 40KW energy package.
In addition, H2BOAT intends to use Nuvera's E -series fuel cell engine to expand its ship product line.
H2BOAT was launched in 2020, which aims to introduce sustainable hydrogen technology into the marine industry and start from the yacht industry. The planned energy package will include an electrolytic groove for the production of hydrogen, a metal hydrogen that stored hydrogen at low and low temperature, and a fuel cell for power generation.
In 2021, Nuvera debugged a hydrogen fuel cell engine testing facility in Italy, which integrates an engine test module (ETM), which provides the ability to test up to eight fuel cell engines at the same time under specific load cycle of different customers.
Hydrogen will play an important role in maritime decarburization, but its widespread application in the shipping industry will depend on sustainable production, expand solutions and reduce costs.
According to data from the International Class Norwegian Class (DNV), the demand for hydrogen as an energy carrier may reach 24 Ai Jiaoer in 2050, and the demand in 2019 is almost zero. The reason behind this sharp growth is clear: as an energy carrier, hydrogen has huge potential in industrial decarburization and helps to build a more sustainable society. In terms of shipping, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target that can achieve the International Maritime Organization (IMO) can be reached at least 50%of the emission reduction by 2050 compared to the 2008 level.
