In a tripartite collaboration, Vinssen, a maritime specialist in hydrogen fuel cells and integrated system solutions, Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), and Amogy, an ammonia-to-power solutions provider, have signed a joint development project agreement to develop and commercialise an ammonia-to-power pack for ships.
The system is designed to replace conventional marine diesel generators. It converts ammonia into hydrogen onboard, which powers proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) to produce electricity without combustion.
Lee Chil-Han, CEO of Vinssen, said:”This collaboration is a significant step toward transitioning the maritime industry from internal combustion engines to fuel cell-based electric propulsion.”
