A review of the potential of hydrogen carriers for zero-emission, low signature ship propulsion systems
Increasing pressure on the reduction or elimination of the use of fossil fuels in shipping requires the application of new maritime fuel alternatives. Green and circular produced hydrogen as a maritime fuel in fuel cell systems offers a great solution…

Hydrogen carriers for zero-emission ship propulsion using PEM fuel cells: an evaluation.
Green hydrogen combined with PEM fuel cell systems is a viable option to meet the demand for alternative maritime fuels. However, hydrogen storage faces challenges, including low volumetric density, fire and explosion risks and transport challenges. We assessed over fifteen…

Hydrogen fuel safety onboard ships – attaining equivalent safety
Alternative fuels with safety equivalent to conventional fuelsSeveral climate neutral fuels, such as methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen, are proposed for shipping to meet environmental and climate goals (IMO, 2018). Because of their hazardous nature (flammability, toxicity) current regulations allow these…
