Zero-emission requirements

are coming

• IMO phasing-out GHG:

↓50% by 2050, zero-emission by 2099

• Europe EMSA to cut CO2 emissions by 50% (2050)

• Norway is protecting fjords: Zero Emission by 2026

• POLA/POLB Clean Air Action Plan

• US EPA in Ports and Affected Communities

• Alaska Visible Emission Standards

Customers want zero-

emissions

• COP21: reduction in GHG to limit climate warming

• Norway transitioning to zero-emission by 2050

• “Responsible tourism … will be among the biggest travel

trends of 2018” [The Times]

• “73% of the younger generations are likely to pay more

for sustainability” [CREST]

• Near-port communities involved in port decisions "… the unique natural and cultural heritage offered by a

destination is what generates its brand reputation, its

value and what drives tourist demand"

Sustainable Cruise Tourism Development Strategies, UNWTO 2016

Why fuel cells for

zero-emission marine

applications

Scalable from 200kW to MWs

Distributed power solution

Reliable DC power generator

Long range and quick refueling

No noise, no vibration, no local or global

emissions

BALLARD.COM9 BALLARD.COMPower to Change the World® 9

Key benefits of fuel cell technology for

marine transport

Fuel cells will play a key role in helping marine industries address greenhouse gas emissions on the water, and in ports

BALLARD.COM10 BALLARD.COMPower to Change the World® 10

Marine applications for

fuel cell power

Propulsion for ferries, OSV, fishing, inland

vessels

Hotel and auxiliary loads (heat and power) for

cruise ships

Cold ironing / shore power

The following table is a high-level summary of the preliminary technical

specifications of the HD200 marine fuel cell module. This specification is subject to

change and will be finalized once the operating profile and certification

requirements are investigated as part of Ballard's 200kW marine fuel cell

development program.

Can Hydrogen Fuel Cells “fit” into Marine Vessels ?

2019, ICCT Technical Workshop on Zero Emission Vessel Technology, Pratt, Scaling Up Zero Emission Technology

Study by Sandia

National Lab Studied 14 Vessels on Various Routes

Fuel cell and hydrogen work for 12 of the 14

cases studied

Difficult to meet the space constraints for

small, high-speed vessels

BALLARD.COM17Power to Change the World®

“In less than 10 years, it will become cheaper to

run a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) than it is to

run a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or an internal

combustion engine (ICE) vehicle for certain

commercial applications.”
