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

Green Car Congress

Project partner Young Brothers operated the generator for 10 months powering refrigerated containers in Honolulu, Hawaii. One opportunity to do so was identified in Honolulu Harbor at the Young Brothers Ltd. (YB) By comparison, the net efficiency of a comparable diesel generator efficiency is from 25% to 34% in this same load range.
