e1 Marine M-series methanol to hydrogen generator has actually gotten Approval in Principle (AiP) for aquatic applications from course culture Lloyd’s Register.
The AiP stands for an essential site for showing the conformity of e1 Marine’s innovation with all suitable policies, codes, and also requirements. This will certainly work as a springboard for making it possible for the presentation of the generator throughout various maritime industries, from ports and also towboats to overseas and also deepsea vessels. Lloyd’s Register has actually likewise verified that last authorization for the innovation is feasible, consisting of for inland rivers, when adhering to Inland Waterway policies.
Robert Schluter, Managing Director at e1 Marine, stated: “The maritime industry faces a once in a generation challenge in managing the way it utilizes energy for propulsion as part of the global energy transition to net-zero carbon. Using e1 Marine’s technology, with methanol providing a safe and effective carrying medium for hydrogen, enables the adoption of clean zero-emission fuel cell power solutions. With the M-series methanol to hydrogen generator, we are making hydrogen a viable fuel option for the maritime industry for vastly different applications.
“Securing Approval in Principle from Lloyd’s Register highlights our innovation’s stability. It likewise offers useful qualifications to sustain our piloting program, to ensure that we can show just how our service can add to decreasing delivery’s carbon exhausts.”
Mark Darley, Marine & & Offshore Director at Lloyd’s Register, stated: “This Approval in Principle is an important step towards reducing carbon emissions from power sources for ship operations, helping transfer the expertise gained in this technology on land to a potentially wide variety of marine applications. We look forward to assisting e1 Marine with their technological advances to assist the global maritime energy transition.”
According to the firm e1 Marine’s copyrighted hydrogen generation innovation enables secure and also economical generation of gas cell-grade hydrogen from methanol and also water.
“It can be delivered on-site, onboard, and on-demand, and it provides an immediately viable pathway to green energy,” e1 Marine stated.
“The fuel cell grade hydrogen output meets all relevant ISO standards, and it’s ideal for use with fuel cells to generate electricity or to supplement the standard fuel of a conventional engine. The successful development of this system builds on a collaboration between Element 1 Corp, the leading methanol-to-hydrogen technology company; Ardmore Shipping Corporation, an independent owner and operator of mid-size product and chemical tanker vessels; and Maritime Partners, a tailored leasing solution provider to the maritime industry,” the firm stated.
