In Norway, Corvus Energy announced that its Pelican Fuel Cell System will be installed aboard the “MS Skulebas” by the end of 2024, following type approval from DNV for its safety and performance. The system, developed under the three-year H2NOR project, is designed to reduce emissions in the maritime sector and represents a major milestone in the transition to zero-emission shipping.
The Pelican Fuel Cell System uses Toyota’s Proton Exchange Membrane technology, a proven solution already used in over 30,000 vehicles globally. It is the first fuel cell system to utilize nitrogen inerting, making it inherently gas-safe, and providing a safer and more efficient alternative for vessels operating in challenging environments.
Corvus’ CEO, Fredrik Witte said, “We now have a high-quality range extender to add to our existing ESS portfolio with the scalability and the safety needed to be a real driver in the future of marine decarbonization.”
The system’s hydrogen storage capacity will allow the 35-meter fishing and training vessel MS Skulebas, to operate emission-free for up to four days.
