Hanwha Aerospace has received Approval in Principle (AIP) certification from DNV for its 200kW hydrogen fuel cell system designed for maritime applications, signifying its entry into the zero-carbon vessel market. The certification ceremony took place in Pangyo, with executives from Hanwha Aerospace and DNV in attendance, affirming the system's safety and compliance with international standards. This achievement follows the company's previous AIP certification from the Korean Register of Shipping (KR) last year. With dual certifications now in hand, Hanwha Aerospace is ready to market and sell its hydrogen fuel cells globally, contributing to carbon emission reductions in the maritime sector. The company aims to further develop its Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology to cater to a range of marine vessels, solidifying its position in the zero-carbon propulsion systems market. By leveraging eco-friendly solutions, Hanwha Aerospace is set to collaborate with Hanwha Ocean to target a broader zero-carbon vessel market, supporting the maritime industry in achieving substantial environmental benefits.
