FEBRUARY 25, 2014

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. Many ports have begun to enact sustainability goals or adopt green practices—an area in which fuel cells can play a role.

US MARAD study finds marine use of natural gas substantially reduces some air pollutants and slightly reduces GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 26, 2014

A recently released total fuel cycle analysis for maritime case studies shows that natural gas fuels reduce some air quality pollutants substantially, and reduce major greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions slightly, when compared to conventional petroleum-based marine fuels (low-sulfur and high-sulfur).

ATI FlyZero project finds green liquid hydrogen most viable zero-carbon emission fuel for aircraft

Green Car Congress

MARCH 28, 2022

FlyZero compared zero-carbon emission energy sources such as batteries, hydrogen and ammonia; the team concluded that green liquid hydrogen is the most viable, able to power large aircraft utilizing fuel cell, gas turbine and hybrid systems. The UK has expertise and capability today in these, but little in liquid hydrogen fuels.

The island gets on average nearly 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, putting it on a par with Honolulu and Brisbane, Australia. To that end, engineers at the U.S. Diesel generators emit harmful pollutants and are expensive to operate, especially in the aftermath of a devastating storm, when fuel is scarce.
