ZERO EMISSIONS

摘要

Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia), in collaboration with the United States Department of Transportation Maritime Administration, has been working to advance marine hydrogen fuel cell applications for a number of years. Previous projects have included fuel cell power for refrigerated intermodal shipping containers and a fuel cell passenger ferry feasibility study. Sandia seeks to build on these prior developments and asked our company, Glosten, to assess the feasibility of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered oceanographic research vessel, designated Zero-V. Sandia's interest in a hydrogen fuel cell-powered research vessel coincides with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's (Scripps) need for a new coastal research vessel and the University of California's Carbon Neutrality Initiative.
