The groundbreaking research will test the viability of fuel cells as an energy source for main ship propulsion.
ABB, a global technology firm, and SINTEF Ocean, Norway’s independent research organisation, have partnered on a research project to determine what would be needed to make fuel cell-powered ships both commercial and passenger ships a reality.
PowerHouse Energy (LON:PHE) has developed a proprietary process technology called DMG® which can use waste plastic end-of-life-tyres and other waste streams to convert them into cost efficient energy in the form of electricity and ultra clean hydrogen gas fuel for use in cars and commercial vehicles (FCEV: Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles) and other industrial uses. The PowerHouse technology is the world’s first proven, modular hydrogen from waste (HfW) process.
