International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) researchers Bryan Comer, PhD, Elise Georgeff, Doug Stolz, PhD (Cross Product Atmospheric LLC), and Xiaoli Mao, Liudmila Osipova, PhD on Thursday (6 January) presented findings of their whitepaper: Decarbonizing bulk carriers with hydrogen fuel cells and wind-assisted propulsion: A modeled case study analysis.
ICCT research has demonstrated both the potential for liquid hydrogen (LH2) fuel cells to replace fossil fuels for container ships on the transpacific corridor and the energy-saving and emissions-reduction potential of rotor sails, it states.
These two technologies could be combined to create zero-emission vessels (ZEVs), and bulk carriers could be particularly well suited because they are more likely to have enough space onboard for the fuel cell and hydrogen fuel storage systems and enough deck…
