Monaco Yacht Club Explores Hydrogen Innovation at Energy Boat Challenge

The Yacht Club de Monaco recently delved into the realm of hydrogen innovation within the maritime industry. This exploration was part of the annual Hydrogen Round Table, now in its 5th edition, organized by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Monaco Energy Transition, and YCM. The event took place during the Energy Boat Challenge, highlighting the importance of hydrogen technology in the maritime and yachting sectors.

During the event, key players like SBM Offshore and NatPower H showcased their contributions to the hydrogen landscape. SBM Offshore emphasized the significance of investing in innovative solutions for a sustainable energy transition, including the development of hydrogen refueling infrastructure. NatPower H, on the other hand, celebrated the successful completion of the first hydrogen refueling operation during a nautical event, marking a milestone in the adoption of green hydrogen technology.

As hydrogen gains traction in the industry, questions about its applications, such as fuel cells or internal combustion engines, arise. Industry experts like Jules Billiet from Inocel shed light on the importance of hydrogen in decarbonization efforts and the emerging technologies that can drive the ecosystem forward. With ongoing developments in hydrogen infrastructure and technology, the maritime and yachting industry is poised to embrace cleaner and more sustainable practices in the years to come.
