PowerCell Receives Lloyd's Register Certification for Marine Fuel Cell System 225
Key Ideas
  • PowerCell's Marine System 225, providing 225 kW of power, receives type approval from Lloyd's Register for marine applications, enabling compliance with global decarbonization targets.
  • The certification paves the way for the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell systems on a wide range of vessels, supporting the maritime industry in transitioning to sustainable, zero-emission propulsion.
  • The approval signifies a significant milestone in the commercial viability and safety of hydrogen fuel cell technology, simplifying the path to zero-emission vessel design and accelerating sustainable shipping practices.
  • PowerCell also secures a SEK 150 million order for its M2Power 250 system, a methanol-to-power solution, marking the first commercial sale of this technology with a delivery scheduled for 2029.
Swedish hydrogen fuel cell provider PowerCell has received type approval from UK-based classification society Lloyd’s Register for its Marine System 225, a fuel cell system designed for marine environments. This system, delivering 225 kW of clean and vibration-free power, is modular, compact, and easily integrated into both retrofitted and newly built vessels. It enables compliance with global decarbonization targets like the IMO’s GHG strategy and the EU’s 'Fit for 55' package. The certification allows for the deployment of PowerCell's technology on various vessels, supporting shipowners and operators in adopting hydrogen electric solutions for sustainable shipping. The approval is seen as a positive sign for the maritime industry, demonstrating the safety, viability, and readiness for commercial deployment of hydrogen fuel cell systems. In a related development, PowerCell has secured a SEK 150 million order for its M2Power 250 system from a European shipyard, marking the first commercial sale of this methanol-to-power technology. The system, converting methanol into clean electricity, will be used to support the vessel's internal electrical systems. The delivery is set for 2029, with the contract covering engineering services and product delivery.
