Presentation

Zero-emission operations in the marine industry

This presentation will provide a case study of the first commercial ferry fueled by liquid hydrogen and powered by the only fuel cell module with type approval from DNV and Lloyd’s Register. The ferry is already sailing in Norway, and more ships, including the first hydrogen inland vessel, will launch in early 2024. However, the industry is taking action to meet its decarbonization targets – not only on water but also at ports. So, in addition to sea operations, industry is also paying increasing attention to emissions produced by ships at berth and from port handling equipment. In this presentation you will learn about zero-emission fuel cell solutions and experiences.
