EXPO NEWS | Day 2: PowerCell Group demonstrates first methanol-to-fuel cell power chain

PowerCell Group is showcasing its hydrogen fuel cell solution for maritime at Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo – a truly zero-emissions technology that is available for immediate decarbonization impact today. The company has been sharing the results from a successful test that validates its new 200kW hydrogen fuel cell system set for operation on Maritime Partners’ M/V Hydrogen One inland push boat.

The group, in partnership with methanol-to-hydrogen technology pioneer e1 Marine and RIX Industries, which is also exhibiting in Amsterdam, recently conducted a successful string test of their respective technologies for a 200kW propulsion chain. This chain can be multiplied and scaled to a megawatt level.

The result of the test proved the viability of a unique concept that takes methanol fuel and converts it to hydrogen on board ships before using the hydrogen in a fuel cell to generate power cleanly and efficiently. The system is the first of its kind and intended for use in many application segments such as tugboats, push boats and superyachts.

The string test, which was performed on land at PowerCell Group’s headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, involved assembling all of the key powertrain components and testing them as a system.

The concept unlocks new opportunities for hydrogen-powered vessels by storing the fuel as methanol, which is less complex than using hydrogen. The conversion technology then transforms the methanol into fuel-cell-ready hydrogen.

PowerCell Group’s marine business manager, Johan Burgren, commented, “We are delighted to be exhibiting once again at Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo in Amsterdam. This event powers truly sustainable thinking with an array of solutions to reach shipping’s decarbonization targets.

“At PowerCell Group, we are putting words into action. We have a zero-emissions, fully scalable, high-performance hydrogen fuel cell solution available today for the maritime industry. Visitors to the show can see our 200kW marine system on display at Booth 8042 and speak to our fuel cell experts to learn more about how we can support shipping’s decarbonization journey.”

Johan also delivered a presentation on designing a scalable compact fuel cell module with easy maintenance and service in mind alongside M/V Hydrogen One project partners.
