The development of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) is on the rise. Specifically, ABS has granted Approval in Principle (AIP) to SOFC technology developed by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. (DSME).

The ShipFC project was granted funding from EU’s Research and Innovation program Horizon 2020 under its Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), to secure a place for ammonia in the future of deep-sea shipping.

American Bureau of Shipping and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering shake hands and inked a joint development project focused on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology.

Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba ESS) will collaborate with New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) on a multi-utility pure hydrogen fuel cell module for large modes of transport.

New and flexible fuel cell technology can reduce emissions from shipping by 40 to 100%. Partners from shipping, R&D and oil and gas are now constructing a pilot system that can use different types of fuel.

In fact, Japan’s largest shipowner Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) together with e5 Lab, a Japanese vessel electrification and digitalization solution provider, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aim to carry out a joint study of a hybrid pure car carrier equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell system and large-capacity batteries.

Havyard is working towards a hydrogen system pilot for large ships, as it is entering the approval phase and has signed agreements with providers of hydrogen tanks and fuel cells. Namely, the Havyard Group, with Havyard Design & Solutions and Norwegian Electric Systems, is now developing a system that will become the biggest of its kind for ships.
