Ballard signs MOU with Global Energy Ventures for fuel cell-powered ship

Perth, Australia (SPX) Feb 08, 2021

Ballard will be responsible for design of the fuel cell system for the C-H2 Ship, based on its FCwaveTM technology, and will assist GEV with integration of the fuel cell system into the vessel's design. Ballard's FCwaveTM system will obtain its hydrogen fuel from the compressed green hydrogen stored onboard and transported by the vessel.

Ballard Power Systems has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Global Energy Ventures - a provider of integrated compressed shipping solutions for the transportation of energy to regional markets, headquartered in Australia - for the development of a new fuel cell-powered ship, called C-H2 Ship, designed to transport compressed green hydrogen.

The power required for a small-scale demonstration of the C-H2 Ship is expected to be under 10 megawatts (MW). At full scale, the C-H2 Ship will have a propulsion power requirement of approximately 26MW, and a containment system for storage of 2,000 tons of compressed green hydrogen.

GEV will be responsible for design approvals, development, financing, and operation of C-H2 Ship, along with integration of the required power system.

Martin Carolan, Executive Director of Global Energy Ventures said, "This MOU is a significant step in our development of the Company's C-H2 Ship, with hydrogen fuel cells now at the forefront of zero-emission technologies for shipping.

"We look forward to working with Ballard on the development of the C-H2 Ship's fuel cell system and power requirements in line with our development program for a compressed shipping solution for hydrogen marine transport at scale."

Rob Campbell, Ballard Chief Commercial Officer noted, "Hydrogen and fuel cell technology provide a compelling path for the decarbonization of the maritime sector, one of the key Medium- and Heavy-Duty Motive applications for which our products offer a particularly strong value proposition.

"Working with Global Energy Ventures will allow us to advance megawatt-scale hydrogen fuel cell and storage integration on board a large marine vessel. We are looking forward to collaborating with GEV on the visionary C-H2 Ship."

Batteries that can be assembled in ambient air
Pohang, South Korea (SPX) Feb 02, 2021
The honor of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to those who developed lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. These batteries have become an essential energy source for electronic devices ranging from small IT devices to electric vehicles. Tesla, a leading U.S. automaker, recently emphasized the need to establish an innovative production system and reduce battery cost. The price of batteries accounts for a large portion of electric vehicles and cost reduction is vital to popularizing them. ... read more
