Lloyd’s Register's business advisory team has initiated a joint development project (JDP) with ROTOBOOST and Amogy to conduct research on fuel cell and pre-combustion Carbon Capture Storage System (CCS) technologies aimed at reducing emissions in the shipping industry. The project will assess the technological readiness, financial viability, and regulatory implications of hydrogen fuel cells, ammonia, methane cracking technologies, and carbon capture and storage. Key focus areas include the capacity of these technologies to cut emissions and costs for container feeder fleets while adhering to Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), FuelEU, and IMO CII standards compared to traditional fuels. The research will specifically look into Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power system, ROTOBOOST’s Marine Hydrogen production technology, and PowerCell’s Marine System 200 hydrogen fuel cell. The project aims to provide insights on emission reduction, cost-efficiency, and regulatory compliance. The collaboration signifies a positive step towards decarbonization in the shipping industry, addressing the increasing need for sustainable solutions to meet stringent carbon market requirements and international regulations.
