As the demand for electrification of deep-sea and larger vessels builds up, heavy-duty and durable fuel-cell solutions are becoming an increasingly important part of the solution to decarbonize maritime transportation.
A Swedish company Echandia has entered into an agreement to deepen its collaboration with Toshiba Energy Systems and Solutions Corporation to explore the possibility of jointly developing a market for ships that use pure hydrogen fuel cell systems in order to respond to the accelerating electrification of shipping in Europe. The partnership will focus on the development of fuel-cell technology combined with batteries for extreme heavy-duty applications in the maritime industry.
The fundamental strength of all of Echandia’s solutions is safety, durability, and superior lifetime. Previously, Toshiba rechargeable LTO battery cell SCiB was used by Echandia to build…
