Ricardo, a global consulting company, has achieved a groundbreaking advancement in clean energy innovation with its new high-powered, multi-stack hydrogen fuel cell module technology. Within just three months of development, the technology has successfully reached 393kW of net electrical power. This achievement was made possible through Ricardo's virtual engineering toolchain, which reduces costs and risks, accelerates development, and enhances understanding of system behaviors under various conditions. Initially developed for the maritime sector under the Sustainable Hydrogen Powered Shipping (sHYpS) Horizon Europe project, the fuel cell module aims to deliver high energy output with zero emissions. By integrating multiple fuel cell stacks, the design ensures unmatched power density, scalability, and adaptability to changing energy demands across different sectors. Andy Ennever, Ricardo Global Head of Fuel Cells, emphasized the significance of this milestone for hydrogen technology, highlighting the successful completion of a full transient ship operation test cycle. Additionally, Ricardo's containerised solution allows for the combination of multiple fuel cell modules, enabling scalable power output up to 3MW per container without compromising efficiency or durability. The achievement signifies a pivotal moment for hydrogen technology, showcasing its potential as a clean energy source and Ricardo's expertise in developing and engineering fuel cell modules entirely in-house within specified timeframes. The scalability of the technology to power a 50,000 tonne cruise ship through zero-emission mission cycles demonstrates its practical applicability and environmental benefits.
