The first fuel cell ferry in India will be constructed by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL). The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) and Cochin Shipyard Limited recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to construct this hydrogen vessel, which would be operated in Varanasi after undergoing many tests in Kochi. Eight hybrid electric ferries will be built, six for the state of Uttar Pradesh and two for the state of Assam, according to the deal. The Varanasi hydrogen ship can accommodate 100 passengers and will have effective air conditioning. Every year, 250 MT of carbon dioxide will be saved by this…

Siemens Energy and Quinto Energy to establish green hydrogen project in Bahia A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed by Siemens Energy and Quinto Energy to establish a large-scale green hydrogen project in Bahia. A million tons of H2V are expected to be produced annually, according to the feasibility study.The venture will also have an operations and technology center in addition to the installation of an electrolyser plant at the Camaçari petrochemical complex. The fuel produced will be exported to Europe, according to the business plan. The gasoline will be created using the energy provided by five hybrid Quinto Energy…

Wadden Sea brown fleet starts hydrogen conversion The so-called “brown fleet” in the Wadden Sea is now having its ships converted to run on hydrogen rather than diesel. At the SRF shipyard in Harlingen, the first modified ship was unveiled. It will cost six tons to convert it into a hydrogen-powered ship, with the Wadden Fund covering around a third of that cost. The “Green Shipping Wadden Sea Programme,” which will invest 26 million euros over the next few years to make the entire Wadden Sea fleet more sustainable, includes the conversion of the historic sailing ships. About 300 ships…
