Hydrogen: lower total operating and ownership cost than diesel

摘要

With hydrogen propulsion becoming a reality in the passenger ship segment, panellists at Riviera's webinar Hydrogen-powered ferries: unlocking the potential discussed the promise of hydrogen fuel, the challenges of scaling up production and the business benefits of fuel cell technology. Panellist Cummins Inc director new initiatives for fuel cell and hydrogen technologies Ryan Sookhoo said the ultimate goal is to commercialise fuel cell technology. Achieving IMO's 2050 targets will require the industry to scale fuel cell production into the megawatt range and grow the infrastructure required for bunkering, he said. And firms will need to collaborate with partners to determine how that scaling can happen.
