Hanwha Aerospace has achieved a significant milestone by receiving Approval in Principle (AIP) certification from DNV for its 200kW hydrogen fuel cell system designed for maritime applications. This certification, following the company's development of a liquid-cooled Energy Storage System (ESS) last year, highlights Hanwha Aerospace's commitment to advancing eco-friendly zero-carbon propulsion technology. The rigorous evaluation process of AIP certification ensures that the hydrogen fuel cell technology meets the highest standards of safety and performance, setting a strong foundation for future market entry. The ceremony, held at Hanwha Aerospace's R&D Center in Pangyo, was attended by company executives and DNV representatives, underscoring the significance of this achievement. Dong-jo Oh, Executive Director of Hanwha Aerospace, emphasized that this certification validates their technology at the highest global standards and expressed the company's dedication to collaborating with Hanwha Ocean to target the global zero-carbon vessel market. With validations from both DNV and the Korean Register of Shipping (KR), Hanwha Aerospace is now poised to expand its market reach globally. The company's plans to secure type approval for its Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology will further enhance its competitiveness in the zero-carbon propulsion systems market. This certification not only opens up opportunities for Hanwha Aerospace to commercialize its hydrogen fuel cell technology for various marine vessels but also contributes significantly to reducing carbon emissions in the maritime industry.
