EcoPro Hydrogen Electrolyser: Revolutionizing Fuel Efficiency for UK Fishermen
Key Ideas
- Ecomotus introduces EcoPro Hydrogen Electrolyser to reduce fuel costs and improve sustainability for UK fishermen.
- The system splits hydrogen from water using electrolysis, leading to cleaner burns, reduced pollutants, and significant fuel savings.
- EcoPro has been successfully installed on 38 vessels, with average fuel savings of 10% and potential emissions standards compliance.
- The technology, requiring no onboard hydrogen storage, is user-friendly, cost-effective, and adaptable across various engine sizes.
Ecomotus, founded by Jason and Kirstyn Munro, has been dedicated to aiding UK fishermen in enhancing fuel efficiency and sustainability with their patented EcoPro Hydrogen Electrolyser. Head of marine operations, Adrian Bartlett, highlights how the system works by splitting hydrogen from water through electrolysis, leading to a more complete combustion process in diesel engines and thus reducing pollution. The EcoPro system is tailored to individual engine needs, offering significant fuel savings averaging 10%, with some vessels experiencing up to 18% savings. Additionally, the cleaner burns achieved by EcoPro help in reducing particulate matter and other pollutants, potentially meeting stringent emissions standards. Bartlett emphasizes the system's ease of installation, compact design, and adaptability to various engine sizes, making it a practical and efficient solution for commercial fishing vessels. With successful installations on 38 vessels, including over 20 commercial fishing boats, Ecomotus is looking to expand its impact to the U.S., showcasing the system's promising future in the marine industry.
