Surfing the wave of cleantech: integrating marine fuel cell systems

Hydrogen fuel cells undoubtedly play a part in the future of marine power. The use of hydrogen, or its derivatives, is one of the few options for sustainable operation satisfying such energy-intense requirements. However, the skill sets and technologies to integrate these systems into maritime’s demanding environments are limited. The cost of developing bespoke fuel cell systems specifically for marine is prohibitive; a new approach, relying on the successful transition of products created for a broad range of sectors, must be deployed. This presentation will provide examples and insights into some of the challenges, innovations and opportunities arising on this journey.
