Energy storage pioneer Corvus Energy is set to start development and production of sustainable, large scale maritime-certified hydrogen fuel cell systems. Production will be located in Bergen, Norway with car manufacturer Toyota as key partner and supplier of mass-produced fuel cell technology.
Corvus is spearheading a collaboration with Norwegian partners Equinor, shipowners Norled and Wilhelmsen, ship design company LMG Marin, the NCE Maritime CleanTech cluster and R&D institution the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) to develop and produce modularised and cost-effective PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell systems for the international marine market. The project has received EUR 5.2 million in funding from state agency Innovation Norway. The development is scheduled to showcase its first marine fuel cell system on board a vessel in 2023 and the product will be marine certified and available for commercial delivery from 2024.
