The H2Marine project, launched in January 2024, aims to revolutionize the maritime industry by developing sustainable marine propulsion technology. With a consortium of 13 members led by CERTH and including industry giant PowerCell, the project has received 7.5 million euros in funding from the European Commission. The primary goal is to create Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell stacks capable of producing 250-300 kW of electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and exploring new market opportunities.
PowerCell’s involvement in the H2Marine project demonstrates its commitment to sustainable marine solutions and expanding its customer base. By leveraging its expertise in fuel cell technology, PowerCell aims to meet the specific needs of the maritime sector while supporting the global shift towards emission-free technologies. The project is expected to have a significant impact on the marine industry, potentially leading to widespread adoption of fuel cell technology and driving innovation in green energy solutions.
As the H2Marine project progresses, it is poised to set a new standard for marine propulsion systems, contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for marine transportation. The collaboration between CERTH, PowerCell, and other consortium members is expected to shape the industry’s direction towards green technology. With PowerCell at the forefront of this transformative journey, the project holds promise for a greener and more sustainable marine industry, with implications for market expansion and innovation in the sector.
