Shipping is faced with the need to meet the IMO’s ambition to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. With this in mind, an important project is underway in Norway to further develop fuel cell technology to enable the use of different fuels, as one method for addressing the IMO’s challenge.
Read moreGemeco presents the most innovative 12-volt charging technology available – the EFOY Comfort Series Fuel Cell. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel and an oxidant to create electricity from an electro-chemical process. In principle, this is the reverse of electrolysis. It might sound like something right out of a recent science fiction movie but

Project partners Eidesvik Offshore, Wärtsilä Norway and DNV GL have announced the closure of the FellowSHIP research project. The cooperation has explored the use of battery, hybrid and fuel cell technology in the maritime industry for over 15 years. In 2003, the FellowSHIP project partners began laying the groundwork for marine fuel cell technology, developing a proof of concept and

A next-generation fuel cell power system for sustainable marine e-mobility is in development. The system will use proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEM) that convert chemical energy from hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical reaction. They involve no combustion, converting fuel directly to electricity, heat and clean water. With the use of renewables to produce the hydrogen, the entire energy
