The October Maritime Hybrid, Electric & Hydrogen Fuel Cells Conference in Bergen focused on strategies for decarbonising the maritime industry. The event delved into hydrogen fuel cell technology on the first day, discussing market challenges, scaling hydrogen production for maritime use, and regulatory support. International case studies highlighted successful hydrogen technology implementations such as the world's first hydrogen-powered fishing vessel and a hydrogen fuel cell ferry in the US. Subsequent days explored hybrid and electric solutions, emphasizing advancements in battery technology and alternative fuels. Discussions underscored the need for infrastructure development in ports to facilitate the transition to zero-emission shipping. Partnerships within the supply chain were deemed essential to address hydrogen technology challenges, with a focus on pilot projects and funding mechanisms like the EU's Clean Hydrogen Partnership. The conference also touched on vessel design complexities, crew training needs, and the importance of long-term contracts for successful technology implementation. The collaborative atmosphere and networking opportunities were highly praised, with a three-day exhibition providing a platform for showcasing products and services. The event featured evening programs, including networking events hosted by Norwegian Electric Systems aboard the Havila Polaris. The conference is set to return to Bergen in 2025.
