Guidelines for Fuel Cell Power Systems On Board Ships
Year: 2023 Language: english Author: ClassNK Genre: Normative document Edition: 2nd Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 70 Description: In recent years, the environmental regulations for ships are getting stricter. At the 72nd session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC72) held in April 2018, the IMO adopted the MEPC.304(72) INITIAL IMO STRATEGY ON REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS that includes reduction targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as candidate measures to achieve them. Fuel cells are power systems that use electrical energy obtained from the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, which produces water and electricity. Because fuel cells do not produce carbon dioxide during the process of generating electricity, they are expected to provide promising ways to comply with the GHG regulations. The practical use of fuel cells has been on a plateau mainly due to high costs. In Germany, where a nationwide hydrogen infrastructure is in place, fuel cell buses are already in operation. In response to the situation, in March 2019, ClassNK decided to publish the first edition of its own guidelines summarizing information related to fuel cells and incorporating the interim guidelines of the IMO, titled, the "Guidelines for Fuel Cell Systems On Board Ships," aimed at assisting in the design of fuel cell systems for ships.

Description: In recent years, the environmental regulations for ships are getting stricter. At the 72nd session of the Marine
Environment Protection Committee (MEPC72) held in April 2018, the IMO adopted the MEPC.304(72) INITIAL
IMO STRATEGY ON REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS that includes reduction targets for
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as candidate measures to achieve them.
Fuel cells are power systems that use electrical energy obtained from the chemical reaction of hydrogen and
oxygen, which produces water and electricity. Because fuel cells do not produce carbon dioxide during the process
of generating electricity, they are expected to provide promising ways to comply with the GHG regulations. The
practical use of fuel cells has been on a plateau mainly due to high costs. In Germany, where a nationwide hydrogen
infrastructure is in place, fuel cell buses are already in operation.
In response to the situation, in March 2019, ClassNK decided to publish the first edition of its own guidelines
summarizing information related to fuel cells and incorporating the interim guidelines of the IMO, titled, the
"Guidelines for Fuel Cell Systems On Board Ships," aimed at assisting in the design of fuel cell systems for ships.
