Corvus Energy Advances Marine Sector with Toyota Fuel Cell Technology
Key Ideas
  • Corvus Energy receives DNV Type Approval for its Pelican Fuel Cell System, incorporating Toyota's fuel cell technology to enhance battery electric vessels for the marine market.
  • The system, developed through the H2NOR project, is deemed the safest fuel cell system and enables ships like the Skulebas to operate emission-free for extended periods.
  • Collaboration with Toyota and other partners has been crucial in ensuring the success of the project, marking a significant step towards net-zero shipping by 2050.
  • In addition to energy storage systems, Corvus is developing Corvus CoPilot for optimized power distribution, energy efficiency, and system longevity in the maritime industry.
Corvus Energy has achieved DNV Type Approval for its Pelican Fuel Cell System, utilizing Toyota's fuel cell technology to advance battery electric vessels for the marine industry. The three-year H2NOR project led to the development of this system, which is noted for its gas-safe design, ensuring utmost safety in the market. The first installation is set for the Skulebas vessel, enabling four days of emission-free operation with the integration of the Pelican Fuel Cell System and hydrogen storage. Despite advancements in battery electric vessels, the need for clean fuel and fuel cells remains essential for extended zero-emission capabilities on longer routes. Corvus's collaboration with Toyota and DNV signifies a significant milestone, showcasing the transferability of Toyota's fuel cell technology to the marine sector. The Pelican system's unique use of nitrogen for fuel space inerting adds to its safety features. Additionally, the development of Corvus CoPilot aims to optimize power distribution and enhance energy efficiency through real-time advisory systems. CEO Fredrik Witte emphasizes the importance of collaboration and expertise in fuel cell development for achieving net-zero shipping. Corvus Energy's vision combines fuel cells, clean fuel, and batteries to pave the way for zero emissions in the maritime industry by 2050.
