ClassNK, a leading classification society, has awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) for a groundbreaking maritime hydrogen fuel cell system developed by YANMAR Power Technology Co., Ltd. (YANMAR PT). This achievement marks the first AiP certification for a maritime hydrogen fuel cell system originating from a Japanese manufacturer, says an article published on their website.
Summary
- Hydrogen fuel cells are being recognized as a potential solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry. ClassNK has issued comprehensive guidelines, titled “Guidelines for Fuel Cell Power Systems On Board Ships (Second Edition),” for designing ships with fuel cell power installations.
- YANMAR PT has developed a maritime hydrogen fuel cell system with a power output of 300kW. The system is designed to simplify installation on ships and is adaptable to various ship power output requirements.
- ClassNK conducted a meticulous review of YANMAR’s system and granted the Approval in Principle (AiP), acknowledging the system’s innovation and adherence to safety standards.
Hydrogen Fuel Cells In Shipping
Hydrogen fuel cells are gaining prominence as a potential solution to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the shipping industry. Recognizing the unique characteristics of hydrogen and the ongoing safety discussions at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), ClassNK has issued comprehensive guidelines, aligning with IMO’s interim guidelines and relevant IEC standards. These guidelines, titled “Guidelines for Fuel Cell Power Systems On Board Ships (Second Edition),” specify safety requirements for designing ships with fuel cell power installations.
YANMAR’s Innovative Maritime Hydrogen Fuel Cell System
YANMAR PT’s maritime hydrogen fuel cell system, with a power output of 300kW, incorporates key auxiliary components, including integrated gas valve units within the system enclosure. This design aims to simplify installation on ships, enhancing practicality. The system’s flexibility allows for parallel connections of multiple units and adjustments to the number of hydrogen fuel cell modules, making it adaptable to various ship power output requirements.
ClassNK’s Rigorous Review And Certification Process
ClassNK conducted a meticulous review of YANMAR’s system in accordance with its guidelines, scrutinizing the results of required tests and conducting a comprehensive risk assessment. Following confirmation that the system complies with prescribed requirements, ClassNK granted the AiP, acknowledging the system’s innovation and adherence to safety standards.
Continued Commitment To Decarbonization
As a proactive participant in advanced initiatives for decarbonization, ClassNK emphasizes its commitment to supporting the entire industry’s journey toward a greener future. The classification society aims to incorporate the knowledge gained from collaborations with industry leaders into evolving rules and guidelines, further contributing to the global maritime sector’s decarbonization efforts.
