H2 Revolution
Hydrogen fuel cells for ships refer to the technology that uses hydrogen as a fuel source to generate electricity through a chemical reaction, typically combining hydrogen and oxygen. This process produces electricity, water, and heat, with water being the primary byproduct, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. In maritime applications, hydrogen fuel cells can power electrical systems and propulsion in vessels, offering a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on conventional marine fuels. The adoption of hydrogen fuel cells in shipping aims to enhance sustainability in the maritime industry, contributing to global efforts to combat climate change by promoting cleaner energy sources and reducing air pollution from maritime operations.
Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Ocean, both affiliated with Korea's Hanwha Group, have joined forces to develop hydrogen fuel cells for ships. This collaborative initiative is part of a government-led green…
