Energy Storage

Green hydrogen can play a transformative role in decarbonizing the shipping industry, which currently relies heavily on fossil fuels like heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel, both of which contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set targets to reduce GHG emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050, making green hydrogen a promising solution. Ships can be powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical process, producing only water and heat as byproducts.

This method enables zero-emission propulsion, making hydrogen fuel cells ideal for decarbonizing the shipping sector. Hydrogen-powered fuel cell ships are particularly promising for short- and medium-distance voyages, such as ferries and coastal vessels.
