Alma Clean Power has teamed up with an EU-funded consortium to launch the HELENUS project, which aims to show the effectiveness of using solid oxide fuel cells to provide heat and power onboard cruise ships, according to a press release.
The HELENUS consortium will construct, integrate, and showcase a 500kW solid oxide fuel cell module operating in cogeneration mode onboard a MSC cruise ship planned to start operations in 2026.
The project, which is funded with approximately 14 million euros, is managed by DLR and the consortium includes a wide range of stakeholders.
The project’s expected results will allow for the expansion of solid oxide fuel cell technology in ocean cruise ships, with the possibility to achieve zero emissions and significant fuel savings due to increased efficiency. The HELENUS project’s long-term goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of a SOFC-ICE hybrid…
