Swedish company PowerCell has signed an agreement with Norwegian SEAM to provide hydrogen solutions to two ships operating on Norway's longest ferry connection.
This massive project, valued at almost € million ($ million), claims to be the world's largest hydrogen project to date in the marine industry. It is also an important climate project that significantly reduces CO emissions.
SEAM, a technology company specialized in zero-emission alternatives for the maritime industry, is responsible for the delivery of the propulsion, control and safety systems. And the fuel cell for the powertrain will be supplied by PowerCell. Final delivery will take place in the fourth quarter of
The Norwegian government has decided that all new ferries crossing Vestfjorden in Lofoten must be emissions-free. In addition, they must be powered by hydrogen to cover the long and demanding distances of up to four hours.
Torghatten Nord, the Norwegian transport group, will deliv C Level Executive List er the ferries, which have a capacity of passengers, cars and twelve trucks each. With this in mind, future Torghatten Nord ferries require a powerful propulsion system.
Torghatten Nord and PowerCell also intend to enter into a long-term service agreement. PowerCell will deliver its Marine System , which enables the ferries to produce approximately MW of power in total. The ferries run on green hydrogen and reduce CO emissions by , tons per year. This is equivalent to the CO emissions of , diesel cars per year, according to the route operator.
“This is a groundbreaking project for the entire marine industry that we are very happy to be a part of,” says Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell. “Norway led the development in introducing liquefied natural gas to the marine industry, and is now taking an important step to establish green hydrogen as an energy source to decarbonize commercial maritime operations. “Our solutions are perfectly suited to demanding applications where operational reliability, high power density and compact format are important parameters.”
“The transition towards electrification and emission-free energy is accelerating and is supported by supranational initiatives such as the EU Green Deal and large-scale investments to achieve the Paris Agreement,” continues Richard Berkling . “In Norway alone, there are approximately 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, increasing demand for net zero solutions powered by hydrogen.”
“This innovative hydrogen project is an important step towards ensuring zero emissions on the Norwegian ferry fleet, and we are very pleased to have PowerCell on board,” says Gunvald Mortvedt, CEO of SEAM. “Our collaboration with PowerCell is a strategically important long-term partnership. “We have great confidence in their solutions and look forward to working with them on current and future projects.”
Environmental policy
This career focuses on the development and implementation of public policies for environmental management. Environmental policy specialists may work in government or nonprofit organizations.
Environmental administration
This degree focuses on the management of natural resources and the implementation of sustainable business practices. Environmental managers can work in businesses, nonprofit organizations, or in government.
Environmental education
This career focuses on education and awareness about environmental issues. Environmental educators can work in schools, museums, national parks, and nonprofit organizations.
These are just a few career options related to the environment, and there are many more depending on each person's interests and abilities.
In summary, implementing renewable energy in a community requires a strategic plan, a coalition of interested people and organizations, financing, the selection of appropriate technologies, and the implementation and continuous monitoring of the renewable energy system.
