Hydrogen carriers for zero-emission ship propulsion using PEM fuel cells: an evaluation

Green hydrogen combined with PEM fuel cell systems is a viable option to meet the demand for alternative maritime fuels. However, hydrogen storage faces challenges, including low volumetric density, fire and explosion risks and transport challenges. We assessed over fifteen hydrogen carriers based on their maritime performance characteristics...

A review of the potential of hydrogen carriers for zero emission, low signature ship propulsion systems

Increasing pressure on the reduction or elimination of the use of fossil fuels in shipping requires the application of new maritime fuel alternatives. Green and circular produced hydrogen as a maritime fuel in fuel cell systems offers a great solution for these concerns. A fuel cell system has a zero emission performance, solid state silent...

A Techno-Economical Analysis of Hydrogen as Long-Term Storage Medium in the Netherlands: How long-term hydrogen storage helps to achieve energy security in an energy system dominated by variable renewable energy sources

The integration of Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES) creates challenges for meeting load demand. The lack of on-demand power generation of these VRES effectively threatens energy security. Therefore, storage facilities, especially hydrogen, have been broadly researched for potential implementation in our energy system, enabling on-demand...

Seasonal Hydrogen Storage in Dutch Depleted Gas Reservoirs: A Feasibility Study for The Netherlands

The Netherlands will need to transform her traditionally fossil fueled energy system in the coming decades to achieve the goal of reducing CO2 emissions to net-zero in 2050. Therefore, an increase in renewable energy sources as solar and wind energy in the overall energy mix will be essential. However, due to the highly variable energy...
