Sydrogen Energy has announced plans to introduce a 250kW hydrogen fuel cell system into the maritime market by 2025, following an exclusive partnership with Shanghai Hydrogen Propulsion Technology (SHPT). The MZ250N system is designed to be scalable from kW to MW for both small and large vessels, capable of utilizing reformed fuels to convert hydrogen from various sources into zero-emission electricity. Sydrogen’s metal bipolar plate technology, SydroDIAMOND®, will be integrated into the fuel cell stack to enhance durability and performance, ultimately improving the longevity and efficiency of maritime systems.
In preparation for its market debut in 2025, the MZ250N system will undergo rigorous type approval certification with classification societies to ensure compliance with maritime standards. Sydrogen is collaborating with Singapore shipbuilders to bring the system to the global market, supporting the decarbonization efforts of the maritime sector. Singapore aims to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050 and have all new harbor craft operating in the Port of Singapore fully electric by 2030, capable of utilizing B100 biofuel or other Net Zero fuels.
Eng Dih, Chief Executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), emphasized the importance of digitalization and decarbonization initiatives in the global maritime community. LU Bingbing, General Manager of SHPT, expressed confidence in the combined technological strength and market reach of Sydrogen and SHPT, highlighting their commitment to creating advanced fuel cell systems for the global maritime market.
