Corvus Energy has been selected to lead an IPN project – a program funded by the Research Council of Norway with the aim to improve operations of hydrogen-driven marine vessels in order to reduce costs and extend the lifetime of both the hydrogen fuel cells and the batteries in hybrid configurations.Corvus Energy joined forces with research institute NORCE and other partners for the project, titled “Optimized Hydrogen Powered Maritime Mobility” or “OptHyMob” for short which has been awarded 13,9 million NOK in funding.This industrial project builds on the ongoing H2NOR project, funded in part by Innovation Norway, where Corvus Energy and partners will develop, demonstrate and certify the inherently gas-safe modularized maritime PEM-based FC system based on technology from world leader Toyota.The lifetime of current fuel cell installations and high cost of hydrogen are…
