HAV Hydrogen obtains DNV AiP for containerised H2 system for ships HAV Hydrogen has received Approval in Principle ( AiP ) from DNV for its deck-based containerized hydrogen energy system for ships , which has been developed to fasttrack the commercial use of hydrogen as ship fuel .
The Zero Emission Pod system is a turnkey , standalone power pod where all support and safety systems as well as electrical power management are included . By using 200 kW hydrogen fuel cells , the system is flexible and can provide 1,000 kW within the footprint of a standard 20 container . By combining multiple containers , using larger modules or dedicated space below deck , multi-megawatt energy systems will also be available .
Installed effect can be used for the main propulsion systems , or for additional power supply on board the vessel to comply with green operation standards . Output effect will be dimensioned to provide optimal zero emission power in desired operating situations , sailing patterns and vessel type .
Quayside , the hydrogen system can ensure sufficient green power supply to the vessel , which does not need to rely on onshore charging infrastructure to achieve zero emission status .
The system is designed for operation in air temperatures between – 20 to + 35 ° C and seawater temperature from 0 ° C to + 32 ° C .
HAV Hydrogen will be ready to start manufacturing of the Zero Emission Pod hydrogen containers during the second half of 2023 , aiming for the first deliveries in 2024 .
Ebara develops world ’ s first liquid hydrogen booster pump Ebara Corporation has developed what it claims to be the world ’ s first liquid hydrogen booster pump for use in hydrogen-fired power generation . The company plans to launch its newly developed product to the market later this year .
In thermal power generation , a liquid hydrogen booster pump is required to supply hydrogen from the storage tank to the hydrogen gas turbine . Ebara began with product development in 2019 , as part of a project funded by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization ( NEDO ). Using this liquid hydrogen prototype pump , the company , in October 2022 , conducted a test with liquid hydrogen at -253 ° C at the JAXA Noshiro Experimental Station . Favorable results led to designing a large flow rate booster pump .
