Sea cells


ABB and Ballard Power Systems will be working together to develop zero-emission fuel cell power systems for the maritime shipping industry.

In a statement issued yesterday (27 June), the company said that they will build on existing kilowatt-to "create a pioneering megawatt-scale solution suitable for powering larger ships".

"With an electrical generating capacity of 3MW (4000 HP)," they added, "the new system will fit within a single module no bigger in size than a traditional marine engine running on fossil fuels."

Fuel cell systems can have various applications for vessels, such as providing power for a ship’s hotel operations during the time of docking, or for powering the propulsion when ships are at sea. During the initial phase, the collaboration will focus on the development of fuel cell power systems for passenger vessels.

Granted this development won't be directly relevant to inner city logistics (our primary newsbeat at LOcityGISTICS), but could play an important role in reducing the environmental impact of city-to-city journeys.
