Fuel Cell Cruise Ship

And if renewable hydrogen is utilized fuel cells.

Fuel cell cruise ship. The report discusses 12 fuel cell projects involving shipping including FellowSHIP FCShip METAPHU Nemo H2 FELICITAS SF-BREEZE Pa-X-ell US SSFC MC-WAP ZemShips SchIBZ and RiverCell. 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. A fuel cell runs on hydrogen obtained from methanol which also has the potential to be produced from renewable energies in the future.

It will be the first cruise vessel to sail with fuel cells technology. This year Aidanova a cruise ship operated by Aida Cruises will be retrofitted with fuel cells. The companies envisage wide-scale use of fuel cell technology on passenger ships replacing traditional diesel engines with fuel cells and heavy fuel oil HFO with hydrogen.

ABB will deliver what it calls the first fuel cell system to provide an energy source for a luxury cruise ship. Fuel cell generate power though a chemical reaction. The water that is produced by the fuel cell can be recovered if needed.

The pilot installation on a Royal Caribbean International vessel includes control converter and transformer technology from ABB and will generate 100 kW of energy. In 2018 AIDA Cruises commissioned AIDAnova the worlds first cruise ship that is entirely powered with low-emission LNG. For cruise ships the applications of fuel cell power include generating power for.

Published Nov 8 2017 755 PM by The Maritime Executive. AIDA Cruises takes further step in its Green Cruising strategy. Furthermore they operate with low noise and vibration.

In line with its vision for an emission-neutral cruising AIDA Cruises the German brand of Carnival Corporation is planning the first practical trial of fuel cells aboard an AIDA ship by 2021 the company said in its sustainability report released Monday. 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. This concept is particularly well suited to cruise ships according to Baldi.
