Projektbeschreibung
Den Weg für saubere Wasserstoff-Brennstoffzellen bei Schiffen ebnen
Seeschiffe verursachen große Mengen an Umweltverschmutzung und Emissionen, während die Binnenschifffahrt, obwohl sie wesentlich kleiner ist, immer noch erhebliche Auswirkungen haben kann. Es besteht ein dringender Bedarf an erneuerbaren und sauberen Brennstoffquellen. Wasserstoff stellt eine vielversprechende Lösung dar. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt RH2IWER zielt darauf ab, die wesentlichen Grundlagen für den schnellen und effizienten Einsatz von Wasserstoff-Brennstoffzellen zum Antrieb von Schiffen in der Binnenschifffahrt und letztlich auch von Seeflotten zu schaffen. Dafür wird das Projekt die Brennstoffzellen erforschen, entwickeln und auf einer Reihe von Schiffen demonstrieren, die für die Schifffahrt und den Transport in der Rhein- und Donauflotte eingesetzt werden.
Ziel
The main aim of RH2IWER is to create a solid basis for the acceleration of hydrogen fuel cell powered vessels in inland waterway shipping by demonstrating six commercially operated vessels. These vessels are of varying lengths and types – 86m, 110m and 135m; container, bulk and tanker vessels with installed power ranging from 0.6 to ~2 MW. The project will also work with standardization of containerized fuel cell and hydrogen solutions.
With the demonstration, standardization work and multi-level analysis, combined with vigorous dissemination and communication measures, RH2IWER project will create a basis on which the shipping industry can significantly reduce their environmental footprint and remove emissions from their entire fleet in the future. The inland waterway fleet comprises a total of more than 15,000 vessels and the vessels within RH2IWER are representative of the typical dry and liquid cargo vessels in the Rhine and Danube fleets, amounting to 12,800 vessels or roughly 80% of the inland waterway fleet. The lessons learned from developing fuel cell and hydrogen solutions for the vessels in this project could be applied more or less directly to these vessels, which would then immediately reduce the GHG emissions from these ships to zero.
The consortium includes 14 European partners, with five shipowners Future Proof Shipping, Theo Pouw, VT Shipping, DFDS and Compagnie Fluviale de Transport with its affiliated entity Sogestion. The shipowners are supported by two of the main maritime fuel cell manufacturers Ballard Europe and Nedstackl, as well as world leading gas company Air Liquide and its affiliated entities Air Liquide Belge and L'Air Liquide SA. Lastly, highly respected knowledge institutions VTT, Stichting Projecten Binnenvaart and University of Genova with their affiliated entity H2Boat, will assist the companies in successful deployment as well as the dissemination, replication and exploitation of these demonstrations and technologies.
