HYDROGEN ON BOARD ACCORDING TO H2BOAT
“Bill Gates has acquired Aqua the first large hydrogen fuelled yacht. This fake news has recently gone round the world showing the interest and the high level of expectancy there is for this new fuel which allows to enjoy more, pollution free yachts. But isn’t this science fiction? What does integrating hydrogen technology on board really mean and what about fuel cells? The development of technology to date and a new approach as how to best exploit hydrogen sets the stage to realistically pursue this objective. After having proposed the use of hydrogen on small craft so as to have energy enough for them to be self sufficient and capable of cruising efficiently. The h2boat is ready to deliver sufficient hydrogen to larger yachts.
Hydrogen has returned
After having been considered as mere Utopia, to propel water craft with zero toxic emission for years on end, it now seems to be doable. Simply by taking a closer look to the automotive industry where leading brands have invested and have worked hard on fuel cells to obtain electric energy from hydrogen are currently promoting this technology with new hydrogen fuelled models. Recent studies show how much more energy is put into hydrogen in most sectors from transportation on wheels, railways, sea, including industrial fields. If we were to judge by the fact that German railways have been running two trains fuelled with hydrogen since last summer, and from the beginning of this year, new generation buses are currently running on hydrogen across London and Sanremo. In Sweden more but more precisely in Mariestad there’s a hyrdogen filling station the first of its kind in the world to supply motor vehicles with self produced solar hydrogen at the filling station.
