殼牌將為新加坡船舶試航氫燃料電池

據(jù)世界天然氣網(wǎng)4月21日消息 殼牌公司將合作進(jìn)行一項(xiàng)可行性研究，測(cè)試船舶使用氫燃料電池的情況，這是殼牌公司和新加坡的首次合作，旨在實(shí)現(xiàn)清潔和氫動(dòng)力航運(yùn)。

這項(xiàng)試驗(yàn)將在現(xiàn)有的滾裝集裝箱（RoRo）船上開發(fā)并安裝一個(gè)輔助動(dòng)力裝置質(zhì)子交換膜（PEM）燃料電池，該船通過卡車在大陸和殼牌公司的布科姆島制造基地之間運(yùn)輸貨物、車輛和設(shè)備。

在租用試驗(yàn)船和氫燃料供應(yīng)商的同時(shí)，殼牌公司正與LMG Marin（將設(shè)計(jì)燃料電池并對(duì)船舶進(jìn)行改裝）及Penguin國(guó)際公司（擁有滾裝集裝箱船舶）合作。

首先將進(jìn)行可行性研究，打算明年安裝燃料電池。該船的試用期為12個(gè)月。

據(jù)報(bào)道，殼牌公司的分析顯示，氫燃料電池是最有潛力幫助航運(yùn)業(yè)在2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零排放的零排放技術(shù)。

Shell to pilot hydrogen fuel cells for Singapore ships

Shell will collaborate on a feasibility study to test the use of hydrogen fuel cells for ships, the first for both Shell and in Singapore, striving for cleaner and hydrogen-powered shipping.

This trial will develop and install an auxiliary power unit proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell on an existing roll on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel that transports goods, vehicles and equipment on lorries between the mainland and Shell’s Pulau Bukom Manufacturing Site.

Chartering the trial vessel and the hydrogen fuel provider, Shell is collaborating with LMG Marin, which will design the fuel cell and retrofit the vessel, and Penguin International, which owns the roll-on/roll-off vessel.

A feasibility study will be carried out first, with the intention to install the fuel cell next year. The vessel will operate for a trial period of 12 months.

Shell’s analysis reportedly shows that hydrogen with fuel cells is the zero-emissions technology with the greatest potential to help the shipping sector achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
