Alfa Laval tests a Methanol-based Fuel Cell

Please share:

Alfa Laval is testing a methanol fuel cell for the shipping industry at its experimental facility in Denmark.
The tests will be carried out in collaboration with major players in the marine industry, with the aim of reducing the carbon impact of marine transport.

Alfa Laval tests a methanol fuel cell for the shipping industry

Alfa Laval has decided to test a fuel cell powered by methanol for the marine industry.
Methanol is one of the most promising non-fossil fuels available, and is currently being tested.
The tests will take place at theAlfa Laval Test & Training Center in Denmark, and the results are expected by the end of the year.

A collaborative project

The project is a collaboration between Alfa Laval, fuel cell manufacturer Blue World Technologies, DFDS, Maersk Drilling and Hafnia.
Methanol fuel cells would give marine vessels a real alternative in terms of renewable fuel energy.
And what’s more, with no CO2 emissions in the future.
In short, theWorld Maritime Organization (IMO) is aiming for a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from marine vessels by 2050.
