PowerCell, a marine fuel cell specialist based in Gothenburg, Sweden, has secured its first order for the M2Power 250 system, which converts methanol into clean electricity onboard ships. The fully integrated solution, valued at SEK 150 million, is designed for modularity and scalability, offering tailored solutions for various vessel types in the maritime industry. By delivering reliable and environmentally-friendly electricity, the system aims to replace traditional marine diesel generators, facilitating a smooth transition to net-zero-emission maritime operations. For smaller vessels like towboats and ferries, the fuel cells can serve as the primary propulsion system, leading to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, larger ships can utilize the fuel cells to power auxiliary engines, enabling net-zero emissions during all operations. Notably, the system addresses local air pollution in ports by eliminating emissions of SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. Scheduled for delivery in 2029, the M2Power 250 system also includes engineering services and hardware supply. PowerCell's CEO highlights the positive impact of fuel cells using methanol reformer technology in reducing emissions and improving public health. Furthermore, the system's contribution to decarbonization goals and the transition to clean fuels underscores PowerCell's commitment to advancing next-generation maritime energy solutions.
