Corvus Energy's Innovative Fuel Cell System Receives DNV Type Approval for Maritime Industry
Key Ideas
  • The Corvus Pelican Fuel Cell System, developed through the H2NOR project, is the first Fuel Cell System designed to be inherently gas-safe, receiving Type Approval from DNV for meeting stringent safety standards.
  • The system, incorporating Toyota's PEM fuel cell module, demonstrates Toyota's successful transfer of fuel cell technology to the maritime sector, contributing to decarbonization efforts.
  • The installation of the first Corvus Pelican Fuel Cell System on the MS Skulebas vessel in Norway, along with a 1 MWh battery system and hydrogen storage, enables the vessel to operate emission-free for four days.
Corvus Energy announced that their Corvus Pelican Fuel Cell System has achieved Type Approval from DNV, a significant milestone in maritime industry safety and performance standards. The system, developed under the H2NOR project, is the first of its kind to be inherently gas-safe, making it a preferred choice in terms of safety. The collaboration with Toyota for the PEM fuel cell module has been crucial, showcasing the versatility of Toyota's fuel cell technology in supporting maritime decarbonization. The successful testing and approval by DNV validate the system's readiness for marine applications, emphasizing the potential for net zero shipping. The upcoming installation on the MS Skulebas vessel in Norway further highlights the practical implementation of this technology, enabling extended emission-free operation. This development represents a step forward in the adoption of hydrogen technology for sustainable marine transportation.
