Blue World Technologies targets maritime sector with its methanol fuel cells
In Denmark, Danish fuel cell manufacturer Blue World Technologies said it is extending its activities in the shipping sector.
With a methanol fuel cell-powered auxiliary power unit (APU), the company wants to replace conventional diesel generators for power supply on board ships.
With the decision of extending the company’s activities within development and manufacturing to cover APU systems for marine usage, the company will be able to provide modular APU solutions in the megawatt range for direct integration in new builds as well as retrofits in existing ships.
“Especially within the last couple of years, we have seen that the use of renewable methanol as shipping fuel has turned into a global trend, with more and more methanol-driven vessels, cruise ships, and large ocean-going container ships being built. As a provider of auxiliary power units for shipping, Blue World Technologies will support this trend by offering high-power methanol fuel cell solutions with high electrical efficiency, long durability, and low maintenance costs,” said Mads Friis Jensen, Chief Commercial Officer and Co-founder at Blue World Technologies.
