Proteus Energy Unveils Innovative Maritime Fuel Cell Solution for Vessels and Ports
Key Ideas
- Proteus Energy, in partnership with Symbio France, introduces the Proteus Maritime Fuel Cell Solution, offering zero emissions, low maintenance, and fast refueling for vessels in various segments.
- The technology, proven on roads and customized for the sea, provides a high energy density solution that complements electric propulsion, extends vessel range, and enhances performance.
- Backed by Symbio's performance guarantee and manufactured with precision, the fuel cell stacks are produced in Lyon, France, at high volume to meet demand without compromising quality.
- Proteus also offers high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks and customized refueling solutions, with the system expected to be available for delivery from January 2026, aiming to help customers meet emission targets ahead of schedule.
Proteus Energy, headquartered in Singapore, has developed the Proteus Maritime Fuel Cell Solution, a modular hydrogen fuel-based system tailored for ports and vessels, with the initial product being the Proteus®75. Each fuel cell stack outputs 75 kW and can be combined for higher power needs, targeting harbor craft and various vessel segments. Developed in collaboration with Symbio France, the system offers benefits like zero tailpipe emissions, minimal noise, low maintenance costs, and fast refueling compared to batteries. Dr. Lars Gruenitz, CEO of Proteus Energy, emphasizes the importance of clean energy solutions for the maritime industry. The solution complements electric propulsion, enhancing vessel performance and efficiency. Symbio France backs the technology with a performance guarantee and produces fuel cell stacks in Lyon, France, with automotive production line precision. Proteus Energy also provides high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks and works with port operators for tailored refueling infrastructure. The deployment roadmap targets availability from January 2026, with DNV type approval expected by the end of the year, facilitating early action for customers to meet emission goals.
