Lloyd’s Register granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) to e1 Marine for its M-series methanol to hydrogen generator.
The AiP demonstrates compliance of e1 Marine’s technology with all applicable regulations, codes and standards. This will act as a spring board for enabling the demonstration of the generator across different maritime sectors from ports and towboats to offshore and deepsea vessels.

Lloyd’s Register has also confirmed that final approval for the technology is possible, including for inland waterways, when following Inland Waterway regulations.
Through e1 Marine’s hydrogen generation technology, fuel cell-grade hydrogen is generated from methanol and water. It can also be delivered on-site, onboard, and on-demand.
Using e1 Marine’s technology, with methanol providing a safe and effective carrying medium for hydrogen, enables the adoption of clean zero emission fuel cell power solutions. With the M-series methanol to hydrogen generator, we are making hydrogen a viable fuel option for the maritime industry for vastly different applications
Robert Schluter, Managing Director at e1 Marine, commented.
Moreover, Mark Darley, Marine & Offshore Director at Lloyd’s Register, added that this “Approval in Principle is an important step towards reducing carbon emissions from power sources for ship operations, helping transfer the expertise gained in this technology on land to a potentially wide variety of marine applications.”
