PowerCell is now a member of H2Marine, an EU project spanning 42 months aimed at developing innovative hydrogen solutions with a focus on the development and testing of fuel cells specifically for marine applications.
As explained, the project entails a comprehensive process of design, development, testing, and distribution of PEM fuel cell stacks that generate 250-300 kW of electricity.
The project officially commenced in January 2024, with the consortium’s 13 members comprising companies and research institutes coordinated by CERTH (The Centre for Research & Technology-Hellas). The total funding amounting to 7.5 million euros is provided by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe framework within the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, co-financed by the European Union (EU) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
As explained, the goal is to further develop fuel cell technology optimized for the harsh climate of marine installations.
The H2Marine project means we can improve our existing fuel cell platform in a segment where we are at the forefront. We already have validated and certified technology for marine use and this gives us opportunities to take significant steps forward.
..says Lisa Kylhammar, SVP Engineering at PowerCell.
