A team of students from the Technical University of Delft made history by crossing the North Sea in a fully hydrogen-powered boat. The Hydro Motion team embarked on the journey from Breskens, Netherlands, facing a rough 160km ocean stretch. Despite a cooling pump failure that led to a stop in Belgium for repairs, the team successfully reached Ramsgate, UK, within 12 hours. The eight-metre-long vessel, built entirely from scratch, utilized a fuel cell system to convert hydrogen into energy, demonstrating the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel source for ships. The project aims to address the decarbonization challenge in the shipping industry, which contributes significantly to global carbon emissions. While hydrogen-powered boats like TU Delft's prototype show promise, commercialization faces hurdles related to cost, infrastructure, and availability of green hydrogen. The team's achievement adds to the progress in sustainable marine transportation technology, with hydrogen-powered boats gaining attention worldwide.
