Fuel Cells Enable Green Ships

 

Fuel Cells Enable Green Ships

Ship pollutant emission standards have become stricter, and fuel cells have become the first choice for green ships. With the improvement of ship environmental protection requirements, the power system adopts clean energy. As a power system with high energy efficiency, zero pollution and low vibration noise, fuel cell system is the first choice for the development of ship power plants in the future.

China’s ship power system is dominated by diesel engines. There are problems such as low energy conversion rate, high fuel demand, and serious environmental pollution. With the rising demand for environmental protection, at the end of 2019, 712 exhibited its own research and development at the Shanghai International Maritime Exhibition. The key performance indicators of the 500kW-class marine hydrogen fuel cell system have reached the international advanced level. my country has made major breakthroughs in the study of clean fuel cell ships. According to the disclosure of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, the size of the electric boat market reached 5.63 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2021, and it will gradually be promoted to the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Pearl River Basin, and the Bohai Rim.

With regulatory pressure growing, the marine industry is challenged: can they deliver a zero-emissions shipping vessel—by 2026? It’s a tall order. But that’s the requirement from the government of Norway, for all cruise ships and ferries plying their World Heritage fjords. Other governments in Europe and elsewhere are watching how the industry responds to Norway’s demands. For many of the industry’s leaders, the solution is a partnership with Ballard. After many successful partnerships in zero-emission solutions for heavy-duty land transportation, we at Ballard have dedicated ourselves to delivering commercial-grade hydrogen fuel cell technology that is specifically geared to marine shipping applications.

Fuel Cell Catalyst Coatings

Fuel Cell Catalyst Coating A fuel cell works much like an electric battery, converting chemical energy into electrical energy using the movement of charged hydrogen ions across an electrolyte membrane to generate current. There they recombine with oxygen to produce water – a fuel cell’s only emission, alongside hot air. Although less efficient than electric batteries, today’s fuel cells compare favourably with internal combustion engine technology, which converts fuel into kinetic energy at roughly 25 per cent efficiency. A fuel cell, by contrast, can mix hydrogen with air to produce electricity at up to 60 per cent efficiency. Fuel cell catalyst coating systems are particularly suitable for these challenging applications by creating highly uniform, repeatable and durable coatings. From R&D to production, our anti-clogging technology can better control coating properties, significantly reduce material usage, and reduce maintenance and downtime. Ultrasonic spraying of other metal al...

The heart of fuel cells-membrane electrodes

The heart of fuel cells-membrane electrodes Ordered membrane electrode is undoubtedly the main direction of the next generation of membrane electrode preparation technology. While reducing the platinum group element load, the following 5 aspects need to be further considered: 1) Ordered membrane electrode is very sensitive to impurities; 2 ) Broaden the operating range of membrane electrodes through material optimization, characterization, and modeling; 3) Introduce fast proton conductor nanostructures in the catalytic layer; 4) Low-cost mass production process development; 5) In-depth research on membrane electrode proton exchange membranes, electricity The interaction and synergy between the catalyst and the gas diffusion layer.
