PowerCell to deliver the world's largest marine H2 fuel cells

PowerCell to deliver the world's largest marine H2 fuel cells

The Swedish company's 6MW (green) hydrogen fuel cells will be fitted on two of Torghatten Nord's ferries, saving the environment 26.5kt CO2 emissions annually.

The €19.2m order, won in a tender, will see PowerCell working with SEAM, a Norwegian systems developer and integrator of low- and zero-emission solutions for the marine industry, responsible for the electrical installations on the ferries.

The final delivery is to take place in Q4 2024.

Torghatten Nord and PowerCell also intend to enter into a long-term service agreement.

"Today's announcement comes as part of a Norwegian government initiative that aims to see all ferries crossing the Vestfjorden between Lofoten and Bodø in Northern Norway be emission-free. With a long and demanding crossing of up to four hours, green hydrogen was deemed the most viable solution to supply the power these vessels require. The ferries - each with a capacity of 599 passengers and 120 cars - are scheduled to operate from October 2025 as part of a replacement programme for similar sized and operable fossil energy-powered ferries," PowerCell said in a press release.

Richard Berkling, the company's CEO, added, "This is a groundbreaking project not just for PowerCell or Norway, but for the entire marine industry, and one that we are very happy and proud to be part of. Norway led the development in the introduction of liquefied natural gas in the marine industry and now the country is taking an important step to establish green hydrogen as a clean energy source for our hard to abate sector. Our solutions are perfectly suited for demanding applications where operational reliability, high power density and compact format are important parameters."

He furthered, "The transition to electrification and emission-free energy is accelerating and is supported by supranational initiatives such as the EU's Green Deal and the large-scale investments to reach the Paris Agreement. In Norway alone, there are roughly 800 ferry lines and ferries are a segment where we can expect great interest in hydrogen-electric solutions. Starting next year, the maritime sector will be included in the EU Emissions Trading System, which will increase the demand for net zero, hydrogen-powered solutions."
