- Hydrogen ship
A hydrogen ship is a
hydrogen -fueledship , power-assisted by anelectric motor that gets itselectricity from afuel cell .History
2000, the 22-person "Hydra" ship was demonstrated, 2003, the
Duffy-Herreshoff watertaxi went into service, 2003 Yacht "No. 1" debuted, as well "Hydroxy3000" [http://iese.heig-vd.ch/hydroxy] . TheAUV DeepC and Yacht "XV 1" were shown in2004 , 2006, debut of the 12-person "Xperiance", 2007 the 8-person "Tuckerboot" and the Canal boat "Ross Barlow" debuted, 2008 the 100-passengerZemships project is underway.Economy
Hjalti Pall Ingolfsson from
Icelandic New Energy , commented that ships are fast becoming the biggest source of air pollution in the EU. It is estimated that by 2020emission s of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from ships will exceed land-based emissions in Europe another big issue to be dealt with would be the storage of hydrogen on ships, given that there would be no opportunity to refill them when out to sea [ [http://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=EN_NEWS&ACTION=D&SESSION=&RCN=26826 NEW H SHIP] ] .Infrastructure
The need for a
hydrogen infrastructure varies, where the Yacht "No. 1" was fueled by a mobile hydrogen station [ [http://www.ivi.fraunhofer.de/frames/english/projects/produktbl/hytra_en.pdf Hytra] ] , the Yacht "XV 1" has onboard generation, the "Xperiance" and "Tuckerboot" have exchangeable high-pressurehydrogen tank s which can be refilled at a localhydrogen station , the canal boat "Ross Barlow" uses fixed onboard low-pressure solid-state metal hydride storage tanks and depends on a refilling station on the waterside, theZemships refills at a fixed waterside storage tank with 17,000 liters of hydrogen which is refuelled by acompressed hydrogen tube trailer .Codes and standards
Hydrogen codes and standards have repeatedly been identified as a major institutional barrier to deployinghydrogen technologies and developing ahydrogen economy . To enable the commercialization ofhydrogen in consumer products, new model building codes and equipment and other technical standards are developed and recognized by federal, state, and local governments. [ [http://www.hydrogen.energy.gov/codes_standards.html DOE codes and standards] ] TheGermanischer Lloyd guidelines for fuel cells on ships and boats is used for the hydra, tuckerboot, Yacht no 1,zebotec andzemships .Research
The NEW H SHIP project was a 15-month project that started February 2004.FC-SHIP was funded by the European Commission under FP5 - GROWTH from 2002 to 2004. The Viking Fellowship is a Nordic project [ [http://www.dnv.com/publications/dnv_forum/no3-2006/Fuelcelltechnologyintroducesultracleanships.asp DNV Fellowship] ] . The SMART H2 project started in 2007 [ [http://www.ectos.is/en/icelandic_new_energy/ Smart H2] ] by placing a
fuel cell in the existing whale-watching ship "Elding" [ [http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSL1465235520080123?feedType=RSS&feedName=environmentNews Elding] ] .ee also
