Expleo has developed a closed-loop fuel solution for global shipping that delivers a 92% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) and OPEX savings of £1.4m a year, per vessel.

SeaShuttle, a project to build two hydrogen-powered, remotely controlled and autonomous-ready containerships for delivery by 2025 has secured NOK150 million (€15M) in funding from Norwegian state enterprise ENOVA.

Echandia has entered into an agreement with Toshiba to focus on the development of fuel-cell technology combined with batteries to accelerate electrification of the maritime sector.

Research scientists from SINTEF and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) are working to develop technologies and concepts to make the oil and gas industry more energy-efficient and reduce emissions from offshore production.

Ballard Power Systems received Europe’s industry first Type Approval by DNV, for its marine fuel cell module FCwaveTM.

Bureau Veritas (BV) released a new rule note (NR 547) on fuel cell power systems on board ships. The rule note covers safety requirements for ships using any type of fuel cell technology, providing rules for the arrangement and installation of fuel cell power systems and the delivery of electrical energy.

The Korean Register (KR) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with STX ES and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) for a joint research and development of solid oxide fuel cell technology for ships. 

Doosan Fuel Cell signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for cooperation in marine fuel cell demonstration with Shell and KSOE (Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering) on February 7th.

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) published a new study, investigating the potential of both liquid and compressed hydrogen fuel cells to replace fossil fuels for bulk carriers, including when paired with wind-assisted propulsion in the form of rotor sails.

A German consortium led by Gerd Holbach, a professor at Technischen Universität Berlin (TU Berlin), has shown with a new vessel that fuel cells as a propulsion option will soon no longer be only a theoretical concept.
