The Singapore-based company has entered the international maritime industry.

Sydrogen Energy Pte. Ltd., a company specializing in fuel cell components and systems, announced it’s entered the global maritime industry via a partnership, making a splash with its breakthrough 250-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell power module.

Accelerating the adoption of H2 tech in the shipping industry.

The breakthrough hydrogen fuel cell system was developed by Sydrogen in an exclusive collaboration - signed on the same day as the announcement was made – with Shanghai Hydrogen Propulsion Technology (SHPT). The purpose of this advanced system is to speed up the adoption of hydrogen technology in the shipping industry and to support Singapore’s “ambitious” goals to decarbonize its maritime sector.   The country, a leading maritime hub, is diligently working to achieve its net-zero maritime goals by 2050. Among these goals include having all new clean-powered harbor craft by 2030. By the start of the next decade, harbor crafts must be fully electric or capable of using B100 biofuel or be net-zero fuel compatible. While these goals are all within the realm of achievability, making it a reality will require the joint investment by a variety of stakeholders in the value chain to produce the infrastructure and innovative solutions essential to these goals.

The hydrogen fuel cell system is scalable from kilowatt to megawatt.

The 250-kilowatt (kW) hydrogen fuel cell power module uses advanced cooling systems and was developed in Singapore for the global market.

Additionally, the module can convert hydrogen from a variety of sources and generate clean power without carbon emissions.  

Supporting the needs of Asia and the rest of the world.

Sydrogen is actively teaming up with Singapore shipbuilders to deploy this technology. The company is not only contributing to the country’s green shipping initiatives, but will globally market the hydrogen fuel cell system to support the needs of vessel builders in Asia and around the world. The system is expected to be market ready next year and will undergo rigorous type approval certification with the appropriate Classification Societies to make certain it fully complies with maritime standards.
