Nuvera to Supply EN-125 Engine for Maritime Decarbonization Project

Nuvera will supply an EN-125 engine that runs on hydrogen derived from ammonia, a zero-carbon fuel gaining traction in the maritime industry. The APOLO consortium, launched in early 2024, consists of 12 members working to address the challenges of power conversion from ammonia and develop efficient ammonia cracking technology. This innovative technology, when combined with fuel cells, will enable the decarbonization of maritime applications and could potentially serve the estimated 30,000 ships with 1 to 10 MW propulsion in operation.

Giampaolo Sibilia, Director of Nuvera EU operations, emphasized the company’s commitment to contributing to maritime decarbonization efforts through its involvement in the APOLO Project. The consortium, supported by the European Union, brings together experts from around the world to develop cutting-edge power conversion solutions. Nuvera’s 125 kW fuel cell engines are recognized as among the most promising technologies in this endeavor. Shipping accounts for three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions annually, and Nuvera’s E-Series Fuel Cell Engines offer a solution to help vessels meet emissions regulations while maintaining economic competitiveness.

Nuvera’s zero-emission energy solutions for maritime applications, such as the E-Series Fuel Cell Engines, provide high-performance power solutions to help vessels reduce their environmental impact. The company’s involvement in the APOLO Project reflects industry confidence in fuel cells as a means to achieve zero-emissions propulsion or auxiliary power in the maritime sector. The technologies being developed through the consortium aim to revolutionize power conversion from ammonia and contribute to the decarbonization of the maritime industry on a global scale.
