Methanol fuel cell system to undergo tests in Denmark
A methanol fuel system intended as a source of auxiliary power for ships and offshore assets is to be tested at the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre in Aalborg, Denmark. The project, funded by Denmark’s Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program, is a joint initiative between fuel cell manufacturer, Blue World Technologies, Alfa Laval, and asset owners DFDS, Hafnia and Maersk Drilling. The aim of the project is to test a fuel cell, based on high-temperature proton exchange membrane (HTPEM) technology, that could provide a realistic alternative to conventional auxiliary engines in the near future....
