MAN Cryo Supplies Hydrogen Fuel System to World's First Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Superyacht
Key Ideas
- MAN Cryo provided a liquid-hydrogen gas-fuel supply system to 'Project 821', the world's first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht constructed by Feadship.
- The fuel-gas system will store hydrogen in liquid form, heat it, and supply gaseous hydrogen to enable zero-emission propulsion.
- The challenges faced included the lack of existing design codes for hydrogen tanks, but a risk-assessment-based design was approved for placement below deck.
- MAN Cryo's scope of supply for the project includes a vacuum-insulated tank, control systems, bunker station, and hydrogen piping, among other components.
MAN Cryo has supplied a liquid-hydrogen gas-fuel system to 'Project 821', the world's first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht built by Feadship in the Netherlands. The system will store and supply gaseous hydrogen for zero-emission propulsion. Henrik Malm praised MAN Energy Solutions' leadership in future-fuel systems for the maritime sector. The innovative design places fuel tanks below deck. Challenges included the lack of design standards, solved by a risk-assessment-based approach approved by Lloyds Register. MAN Cryo's supply includes a vacuum-insulated tank, bunker station, control systems, and hydrogen piping. Sofia Liedholm highlighted the cooperation that resolved challenges and emphasized MAN Cryo's expertise in marine fuel systems.
