Hydrogen, considered a promising future fuel in the marine industry, serves multiple roles. It can act as a supplementary option for traditional internal combustion engines, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Alternatively, it can be converted into electricity via fuel cell technology, effectively eliminating emissions. Recognized as a feasible energy storage solution for marine vessels, the primary challenges revolve around system configuration and regulatory compliance.

ADEC Kedge is working with a long-standing client to assess the practicality of converting existing vessels to hydrogen propulsion and has completed multi-million-dollar designs for other clients.
