Shell's maiden trial for hydrogen fuel cells in ships to aid Singapore's clean fuel ambitions

摘要

Shell said April 21 it would collaborate on a feasibility study to trial the use of hydrogen fuel cells for ships, the first of its kind for both Shell and in Singapore, paving the way for cleaner and hydrogenpowered ships. The company said in a statement that its analysis shows that hydrogen with fuel cells had the potential to help the shipping sector achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. “This trial is an important step in demonstrating the applicability of hydrogen and fuel cells on ships,” said Nick Potter, general manager of Shell Shipping and Maritime, Asia Pacific & Middle East. “We see fuel cells and hydrogen as a promising pathway for decarbonizing shipping and working with partners in this way will develop our understanding of this critical technology," he added.
