Current State-of-the-Art of Hydrogen Fuel Cell
About this Webinar:
Intrinsically carbon-free fuels, such as ammonia and hydrogen, are under development to become the basis of zero-carbon shipping. If sourced renewably, both fuels produce no CO2 emissions, and both can be used in internal combustion engines or in fuel cells.
The use of these potentially volatile fuels entails considerations for onboard safety.
Fitting vessels to store and use hydrogen represents a significant cost, as its energy density is 4-8 times lower than fuel oil, depending on its state.
Furthermore, hydrogen is potentially flammable and explosive, so seafarers must receive training on how to use it safely.
Technology providers are working on specific tank designs as well as fuel cells for use with hydrogen. Common in onshore technology, fuel cell power systems are being redesigned for use on ship.
BV is supporting providers in this venture with Rules for fuel cells (including the use of hydrogen), and is preparing to release additional notations for hydrogen fueled vessels in 2022.
