PowerCell Group has received an approval in principle (AIP) from the classification society DNV for its methanol-to-power solution in the maritime industry. This innovative system combines a methanol reformer from RIX Industries with the newly launched PowerCell Marine System 225, aiming to facilitate the maritime sector's transition to cleaner energy sources. Methanol, identified as a promising alternative fuel alongside hydrogen, plays a crucial role in the decarbonization and electrification of maritime operations. Its widespread availability in major ports globally makes it a feasible complement to hydrogen, potentially expanding hydrogen's utilization in marine applications. The collaborative effort between PowerCell and RIX Industries has resulted in a streamlined power system that efficiently converts methanol into hydrogen. The hydrogen produced is then utilized in a fuel cell to deliver a clean and effective energy solution for maritime operations. This integrated solution not only simplifies installation processes but also boosts safety levels while catering to the specific demands of the maritime industry. The AIP granted by DNV signifies that the system's design meets rigorous safety criteria, marking a significant milestone towards promoting sustainable practices in maritime operations. PowerCell Group's CEO, Richard Berkling, emphasized the significance of this methanol-to-power solution within their 'Industrialized Innovation' strategy, aimed at enhancing customer value by reducing time-to-market and technical risks. Dr. Andreas Bodén, SVP & CTO of PowerCell Group, highlighted the collaboration with RIX Industries as pivotal in optimizing technologies for improved efficiency and safety. Bryan Reid, CSO of RIX Industries, underlined how these power systems effectively address the energy needs of customers, enabling the immediate deployment of Net Zero solutions, emphasizing a commitment to sustainability and innovation in the maritime sector.
