Ferguson Marine and partners to develop renewables-powered hydrogen ferry: EU-funded HySeas III project

Green Car Congress

The vessel’s fuel will be produced from renewable electricity marking a paradigm shift towards entirely emissions-free marine transport. Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity will be used to fuel Ballard FCveloCity-HD 100-kilowatt fuel cell power modules, which will provide zero-emission primary propulsion power for the ferry.

ArcelorMittal Europe to produce “green steel” starting in 2020

Green Car Congress

Ultimately to reach zero, this hydrogen will need to be green (produced via electrolysis which is powered by renewable electricity). At ArcelorMittal Dunkerque a study has been launched to build a large-scale DRI plant, combined with an electric arc furnace. First verified green steel for customers.
