Fuel Cell Cruise Ship

Fuel cell technology from Freudenberg is being used to power some of the most demanding transportation applications from cruise liners tankers and cargo ships to buses trains and heavy transit semi-trucks.

Fuel cell cruise ship. This technology which operates at very high temperature approximately 750 C is the most efficient for high-power marine-like applications rather than the low-temperature Hydrogen-based Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell solutions used for instance in the. As early as 2021 AIDA Cruises will trial this technology on AIDAnova becoming the cruise industrys first brand to trial fuel cells on a large cruise ship. Several tender ships to carry the fuel to the cruise ship are also part of the project according to the Norwegian Maritime Authority.

Worlds first liquid hydrogen fuel cell cruise ship planned for Norways fjords. The ultimate goal is a completely zero-emission system that will enable the worlds first sustainable clean cruise ships. The fuel cell has been developed by Freudenberg Sealing Technologies as part of a research project backed by the German Government and it runs on hydrogen obtained from methanol.

The AiP sets the stage to move to further testing and installation of the system on board the AIDAnova cruise ship. Canadian technology firm Ballard Power Systems has delivered the worlds first. G-CAPTAIN OCTOBER 2 2017 Viking Cruises has revealed that it is developing what could become the worlds first cruise powered by liquid hydrogen.

Together with its global partners AIDA Cruises has been focusing for many years in. And if renewable hydrogen is utilized fuel cells. It operates with low emissions noise and vibration and is powered by hydrogen which is reformed from methanol.

When optimal power performance and long-term reliability are required fuel cells from Freudenberg fit the transportation bill. After a test phase on land the fuel cell will then be tested in operation for the first. In line with its vision for an emission-neutral cruising AIDA Cruises the German brand of Carnival Corporation is planning the first practical trial of fuel cells aboard an AIDA ship by 2021 the company said in its sustainability report released Monday.

Some cruise ship ports already require zero-emission operation. This year Aidanova a cruise ship operated by Aida Cruises will be retrofitted with fuel cells. AIDA Cruises takes further step in its Green Cruising strategy.
