Fuel Cell Cruise Ship

The fuel cell has been developed by Freudenberg Sealing Technologies as part of a research project backed by the German Government and it runs on hydrogen obtained from methanol.

Fuel cell cruise ship. The research project named Pa-X-ell2 is designed to develop fuel cells powered by hydrogen derived from methanol with the potential to supply power to cruise ships. In the future there is the potential for the required methanol to be produced from renewable energy sources. And if renewable hydrogen is utilized fuel cells.

Published Nov 8 2017 755 PM by The Maritime Executive. Worlds first liquid hydrogen fuel cell cruise ship planned for Norways fjords. Furthermore they operate with low noise and vibration.

This concept is particularly well suited to cruise ships according to Baldi. Cruise ship applications may be among the first marine uses of fuel cells. This technology which operates at very high temperature approximately 750 C is the most efficient for high-power marine-like applications rather than the low-temperature Hydrogen-based Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell solutions used for instance in the.

Vessel to be retrofitted by 2023 will combine a 32MW hydrogen fuel cell with battery storage. ABB will deliver what it calls the first fuel cell system to provide an energy source for a luxury cruise ship. One of the advantages of fuel cells is that they only produce CO 2 and water unlike a Diesel engine which also produces other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd RCL has announced that it will utlise hydrogen fuel cell technology to provide additional power on their new liquefied natural gas LNG-powered Icon vessel class. Methanol as an energy carrier offers good properties in terms of storage volume. Developed as a hybrid energy system for use in cruise ships the fuel cells will be designed to enable benefits beyond significantly lower emissions including operating with lower noise and vibration.

It will be the first cruise vessel to sail with fuel cells technology. G-CAPTAIN OCTOBER 2 2017 Viking Cruises has revealed that it is developing what could become the worlds first cruise powered by liquid hydrogen. For cruise ships the applications of fuel cell power include generating power for.
