Revolutionizing Marine Transportation: Genevos' HPM-80 Fuel Cell Promises Zero-Emission Ships
Key Ideas
  • Genevos introduces the HPM-80, an 80 kW marine fuel cell stackable to multi-MW scale for zero-emission ships, significantly reducing weight and energy consumption.
  • The HPM-80 offers a drop-in solution to decarbonize vessels with propulsion systems from 10 kW to 5 MW, with potential applications in a wide range of vessels like ferries and service ships.
  • Hybridization with the HPM-80 can cut fuel consumption by over 50%, extending the life of existing vessels and providing a pathway to full decarbonization in the maritime sector.
  • The integration of corrosion-resistant graphite plate technology and Cummins-Hydrogenics HD-series stacks ensures energy security and reliability, crucial for vessels with high annual use.
French company Genevos has launched the HPM-80, an innovative 80 kW marine fuel cell designed to transform the marine transportation sector with zero-emission solutions. This plug-and-play fuel cell system is stackable to multi-MW scale, catering to energy-intensive vessels like ferries and service ships, effectively reducing emissions to zero. The HPM-80, significantly lighter than its diesel counterparts, is engineered to optimize a vessel's weight and energy efficiency. Genevos also highlights the versatility of the HPM-80 in decarbonizing various vessels, from crew transfer and offshore support ships to tugboats and small freighters. Hybridization options are available to reduce fuel consumption by over 50%, making it a cost-effective and sustainable solution for operators. Moreover, the HPM-80 can power auxiliary systems on cargo and cruise ships at port, minimizing emissions in populated coastal areas. With a focus on energy security and reliability, Genevos ensures redundancy in operations, crucial for vessels with high annual utilization. The company's collaboration with the H2-SEAS consortium underscores its commitment to pushing the boundaries of hydrogen technology in the maritime industry.
