Japan, Toyota to build fishing boat powered with hydrogen fuel cells

The Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency (FRA) will collaborate with Toyota Motor Corp. to build a fishing boat fueled by hydrogen fuel cells, that are able to emit zero CO2.

FRA will start designing the body of the ship in 2019 and will perform ocean testing in 2022, in order to commercialize the ship, local media report.

FRA aspires the ship to contribute in limiting global warming. It also hopes that hydrogen as fuel will make the fisheries industry more stable.

Hydrogen powered RO-PAX project receives funding

Havyard and Havila Kystruten informed that their hydrogen-powered coastal route operations will receive over NOK 100 million in funding from Pilot-E. The initiative can lead to ships with up to five times longer zero-emission voyages than current ones or planned vessels.

In Pilot-E, the Research Council of Norway, Innovation Norway and aim to achieve zero-emissions from maritime transport 2.0. For this reason it awarded NOK 104.3 million for the Zero-Emission ROPAX Vessel project.

Ports of Auckland plans New Zealand’s first hydrogen facility to cut emissions

In a first for Auckland, Ports of Auckland revealed plans to build a hydrogen production and refueling facility at its Waitematā port. Under the project, the company along with its project partners, Auckland Council, Auckland Transport and KiwiRail, will invest in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles including port equipment, buses and cars. The project is part of the Ports’ ambitious target to be a zero emission port by 2040.

In order to meet that target we need a new renewable and resilient power...

Fuel-gas system for liquefied hydrogen developed

MAN Cryo, a subsidiary of MAN Energy Solutions, has developed a marine fuel-gas system for liquefied hydrogen. MAN Cryo developed the system with the cooperation of Fjord1 and Multi Maritime in Norway.

Multi Maritime’s hydrogen vessel design for Fjord1, which includes hydrogen fuel gas system’, has been granted preliminary approval in principle, “AIP”, by DNV-GL.

The system allows the adaptation for different shipping types, while it is also suited for both above- and below-deck applications.

Hydrogen will be crucial in decarbonizing world energy supply, report says

DNV GL published a new research paper, reporting that hydrogen can play a significant role in decarbonizing world energy supply. This will be able to mitigate climate change. Namely, hydrogen as an energy carrier is expected reach 39 and 161 million tonnes of hydrogen per annum (Mtpa) in 2050.

At present, only about 1,000 tons of hydrogen production are destined for energy each year, mostly for hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles but as the research paper foresees, the demand for hydrogen for...

Construction begins for world’s first hydrogen fuel cell ferry

Golden Gate Zero Emission Marine (GGZEM) announced the beginning of construction of the ‘Water-Go-Round’, the first-of-its-kind hydrogen fuel cell boat,  representing a global paradigm for the advantages of hydrogen fuel cells in the commercial maritime industry. When launched in mid-2019 the Water-Go-Round will be the first fuel cell vessel in the US and the first commercial fuel cell ferry in the world.

The 70-foot catamaran is being built by the US-based Bay Ship & Yacht Co. of Alameda, with...
