The focus of the project is investigating the feasibility of replacing diesel engines in today’s hovercraft with a zero-emission hydrogen propulsion system.
The design will enable hydrogen production and electricity storage in periods of high-power production and will convert hydrogen to electricity, via a fuel cell, during periods of lower power production.
Windcat has announced an order for the construction of a series of hydrogen-powered Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs), with Damen Shipyards.
French-based green hydrogen specialist, Lhyfe and Nantes-Saint Nazaire Port, France have reached a partnership agreement with hopes of establishing large-scale offshore green hydrogen production.
