DNV, a classification society, has granted approval in principle for a 200-kW hydrogen fuel cell system designed for maritime use by South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace. This approval follows certification by the Korean Register of Shipping. Hydrogen fuel cell systems have the potential to power ships by generating electricity for propulsion and auxiliary systems. However, current technologies are more applicable to small vessels due to challenges such as fuel storage limitations. Hanwha Aerospace expressed its readiness to market the maritime hydrogen fuel cells globally and work towards securing type approval for their Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell technology. The company remains committed to collaborating with Hanwha Ocean to develop zero-carbon maritime solutions and help reduce carbon emissions in the shipping industry.
