“For 25 years, it has been said that fuel cell is the next big event,” said ABB Ship 5SHX2645L0002 and Port Product Manager Jostein Bogen. “Now it’s really happening.”
It was obvious that the industry had guessed wrong many times before, but Bogen had solid reasons to prove that this time was not groundless: “The first is the rapid development of fuel cell technology, and the second is the emerging of zero emission power solutions.”
According to E4tech’s “2016 Fuel Cell Industry Review” report, fuel cell shipments rose again in 2016. Japan worked hard to promote them, followed by Europe and the United States, while China, the “sleeping lion”, is waking up.
Social change is changing with each passing day
“The market is surging and various technologies are in full bloom,” Bogen said. “We believe that 5SHX2645L0002 proton exchange membrane or PEM technology is the most promising and sustainable.” ABB’s own fuel cell projects involve market research, research and development and the participation of leading enterprises.
ABB believes that hydrogen is an excellent fuel cell solution, but Bogen acknowledges that hydrogen must achieve sustainable production, and 5SHX2645L0002 can really be called “green fuel”. Once solved, the advantages begin to emerge: “The efficiency of fuel cells is higher than that of internal combustion engines, and technology makes their energy more intensive than fossil fuels. Moreover, if you use renewable energy to produce hydrogen, the entire energy chain is clean.”
Although the pilot projects have been successfully completed in shipping and more are still in progress, other industries have gone further in the application of fuel cells. Especially in long-distance heavy transport, the momentum is accelerating, which well proves the perfect fit between fuel cells and the shipping industry. Hydrogen powered trucks and buses are on the road, and Bogen mentioned that a fuel cell manufacturer claims that the fuel cell installation in the next two years will reach the total of the past 20 years.
The train sector is expected to follow up soon, and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line announced that it plans to cooperate with Meyer Turku of Finland to use fuel cells on new LNG cruise ships, which are currently being tested.
