- RIX will share system highlights and insight on this breakthrough technology at the International WorkBoat Show, slated for December 1-3, 2021.
- Real change is on the horizon, with newly available commercial systems enabling hydrogen-on-demand without hydrogen’s inherent complexity.
- Systems deliver high efficiency, minimal vibration/noise, and low emissions for power critical applications, achieving Net Zero CO2 emissions when paired with renewable methanol.
Small-footprint systems accelerate decarbonization by utilising methanol for on-board deployment as reported by RIX.
Decarbonization goals
On-vessel hydrogen-on-demand, according to RIX Industries, a major producer of energy technology and industrial power systems, is the key to developing momentum in the maritime industry’s decarbonization.
Eliminating the complexities of high-pressure gas or cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage, hydrogen-on-demand transforms methanol to feed fuel cells as needed in a self-contained, small footprint system.
RIX will share system highlights and insight on this breakthrough technology at the International WorkBoat Show, slated for December 1-3, 2021.
“To capitalize on hydrogen’s promise as an on-vessel source of power, hydrogen technologies must become more accessible for easy marine deployment,” said Bryan Reid, Chief Sales Officer, RIX Industries.
Renewable energy
“Real change is on the horizon, with newly available commercial systems enabling hydrogen-on-demand without hydrogen’s inherent complexity.
Existing diesel tanks can be repurposed to store liquid methanol at ambient conditions – allowing hydrogen systems to drop into existing shipboard infrastructures with minimal impact on retrofit even as decarbonization goals are more easily met.”
The M2H2 Series systems from RIX include technology licenced from Element 1 (dba e1), a developer of renewable energy products, processes, and technologies, to provide hydrogen-on-demand. M2H2 systems create power with no NOx, SOx, or particulate matter when combined with PEM fuel cells. When combined with renewable methanol, systems deliver high efficiency, low vibration/noise, and low emissions for power essential applications, reaching Net Zero CO2 emissions. Systems support fuel cell solutions ranging from 30 kW to 120 kW, which can be combined to support MW applications and are suitable for ship propulsion, auxiliary power systems, reefer container power, and cold ironing.
