Sandia Labs project team building fuel cell cold ironing system for deployment at Port of Honolulu in 2015

Green Car Congress

A Sandia National Laboratories project team, including a number of industry partners, is designing and building a cold-ironing fuel cell system that will be deployed in the Port of Honolulu in 2015. Ports have been a major source of water and air pollution in the US, but remained relatively unregulated until recent years.

Project shows maritime fuel cell generator can increase energy efficiency by up to 30% at part load; reliability and cost issues

Green Car Congress

A recent project demonstrated a 100 kW fuel cell generator with 72 kg of hydrogen storage for marine applications. The generator was designed and built by Hydrogenics with safety and regulatory reviews by the Hydrogen Safety Panel, US Coast Guard, and the American Bureau of Shipping.

Sandia Labs partnering with Red and White Fleet to develop high-speed H2 fuel cell passenger ferry and world’s largest H2 refueling station

Green Car Congress

Sandia National Laboratories and San Francisco’s Red and White Fleet are partnering in a project—SF-BREEZE (San Francisco Bay Renewable Energy Electric vessel with Zero Emissions)—to develop a high-speed, hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered passenger ferry and refueling station. —Joe Pratt, the Sandia project lead.

Sandia study finds fuel cell barges may be attractive lower-cost cold-ironing solution for some types of vessels at some ports

Green Car Congress

Although two containers are shown here, the actual number of containers would depend on the power and energy requirements of the vessel to be powered. Thus, with proper design and coordination, a shore power barge with a hydrogen-fueled PEM fuel cell system for powering container ships at berth could become a commercially viable product.
