Hanwha Aerospace in South Korea has achieved AIP (concept approval) certification for hydrogen fuel cells for ships, marking a significant milestone in the marine decarbonization efforts. The certification ceremony took place at the Pangyo R&D Center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, with key officials present. AIP certification validates the stability of technology application and compliance with international regulations from the basic design stage of new technologies. Hanwha Aerospace's certification for hydrogen fuel cells is a step towards establishing a base for various hydrogen fuel cell types for ships, including polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFC). Additionally, the company plans to collaborate with U.S.-based partners on ammonia propulsion ships, further expanding their sustainable solutions in the marine industry. Moon, the head of the electricity promotion system business division at Hanwha Aerospace, emphasized their commitment to leading marine decarbonization through continuous R&D efforts to meet the growing demand for carbon-free fuels like hydrogen in the market.
