The greatest challenge is the same as that which is plaguing the adoption of fuel cells in the automotive market—the buildout of low-cost green hydrogen infrastructure. Most projects thus far have been for inland vessels and some short-sea vessels. Electric Vehicles in Construction - 1 GWh. Electric Two-wheelers - 9 GWh.

The new 'Coasting - Engine off' micro hybrid system represents a low-cost level of electric-powered motoring on a 12-volt basis. A so-called Q-diode regulates the current flow between the lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. A key factor in its low emissions is the optimum conversion of the methane in the exhaust gas.

The successful market implementation of these materials in vehicles requires that they be low cost and available in sufficient abundance to make a compelling business case. For this reason the focus of this AOI includes the development of low-cost approaches to the manufacturing of both magnesium and carbon fiber.

PbC batteries are multi-celled asymmetrically supercapacitive lead-acid-carbon hybrid batteries. Like a lead-acid battery, it comprises a series of cells. NS originally built NS-999 in early 2009 with lead–acid batteries; however, the lead–acid system consistently failed field testing.
