Hanwha Aerospace has achieved Approval in Principle (AIP) certification from DNV for its 200kW hydrogen fuel cell system tailored for maritime use. This milestone signifies the company's official venture into the eco-friendly zero-carbon vessel market. The certification event at the R&D Center in Pangyo, attended by Hanwha Aerospace's Executive Director and DNV's Vice President, highlights the technology's adherence to global safety and performance standards. Hanwha Aerospace's continuous collaboration with Hanwha Ocean aims to address the international zero-carbon vessel market, contributing to substantial reductions in carbon emissions within the maritime sector. Building on its previous Korean Register of Shipping (KR) certification, the dual validation from KR and DNV enables Hanwha Aerospace to initiate comprehensive marketing and sales strategies on a global scale. The certification further propels the company towards obtaining type approval for its Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology, enhancing its competitiveness in zero-carbon propulsion systems for diverse marine vessels. Hanwha Aerospace's strategic roadmap includes the refinement and commercialization of this technology, catering to both commercial ships and specialized maritime applications.
