Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center releases report on fuel cells for vessels

The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping has released a report providing a techno-economic assessment of fuel cell applications for onboard auxiliary power for deepsea vessels. The reportindicates that it appears unrealistic to assume that fuel cells will compete with or entirely replace onboard internal combustion engines in the near future, even as

Bosch to launch hydrogen engine for trucks

German manufacturer Bosch has announced plans to launch its first hydrogen internal combustion engine for trucks this year, to add to its existing fuel cell and battery-electric offerings. Hydrogen engines are less efficient than fuel cells, so vehicles using them will require more H2 to travel the same distance. But proponents say they hydrogen engines
