Lloyd’s Register is collaborating with energy companies ROTOBOOST and Amogy to conduct a study on fuel cell and pre-combustion Carbon Capture Storage System (CCS) technologies for emissions reduction in the maritime industry. The joint development project (JDP) will evaluate the feasibility of using hydrogen fuel cells, ammonia, methane cracking technology, and CCS to reduce emissions and costs within a container feeder fleet, in alignment with EU ETS and IMO CII regulations. This initiative aims to assess the potential of these technologies compared to conventional fuels, with a focus on Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power system and ROTOBOOST's Marine Hydrogen production technology. The project will also consider additional costs associated with alternative fuels. The collaboration marks a significant step forward in exploring alternative propulsion solutions to meet new carbon market requirements and international regulations. The partners aim to ensure that the energy converters offer both economic savings and environmental benefits. LR has previously provided Approval in Principle to Rotoboost’s pre-combustion carbon capture system and issued a feasibility statement for Amogy’s Technology Qualification Plan. The sentiment of the article is positive, highlighting the potential of these technologies to drive emissions reduction and enhance sustainability in the maritime sector.
