HAV Hydrogen secured NOK 12.4m ($1.18m) to develop a containerized hydrogen energy system for ships. The grant comes from Norway’s Environmental Technology Scheme, with additional funds from HAV Group ASA, reports H2 View.
Zero Emission Pod Prototype
HAV will build, test, and certify a full-scale prototype of its Zero Emission Pod.
The Pod, previously Approved in Principle by DNV, integrates multiple fuel cells and a complete hydrogen distribution system.
System Features
The Pod includes essential components like control and safety systems, emergency shutdown, ventilation, cooling, and power distribution.
It’s designed for main propulsion or as auxiliary power, ensuring compliance with green operation standards.
Industry Compliance
The system adheres to IMO’s fuel cell guidelines, facilitating mass adoption within the maritime industry.
It offers retrofit options for existing vessels and plug-in modules for new buildings, reducing installation risks.
Cost-Effective Solution
HAV aims to provide vessel operators with an easy-to-install hydrogen system for decarbonization at reasonable costs.
The solution addresses the need for green power supply both quayside and onboard ships.
Testing and Certification
SINTEF’s new test facility in Trondheim, Norway, will conduct testing and certification of the prototype.
