The new way of propulsion – Cooperation for carbon free vessel



Panasia, an energy solution company, and Vinssen, an electric ship and propulsion system company have signed an MOU for an eco-friendly ship hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system. 
Through the signing of the agreement, the two companies decided to cooperate in various fields such as research on electric propulsion systems for eco-friendly ships, 
promotion of joint projects, and promotion.

 The two companies plan to develop a hydrogen fuel cell power system for large ships that combines an ammonia hydrogen generator with a hydrogen fuel cell module and push for type approval. 
They expect Korea's eco-friendly ship technology to take the lead in the global market.

Ammonia has higher energy density than liquefied hydrogen and is known to be suitable for large ships because it is liquefied at -33℃ compared to liquefied hydrogen, 
which cools to -253℃. Last year, the International Energy Agency (IEA) also selected ammonia as the most efficient hydrogen transport method.

The hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system using hydrogen extracted from ammonia is an eco-friendly energy source that generates electricity by reacting hydrogen with oxygen. 
The exhaust gas is made up of water only, so there is no air pollution. In addition, fuel cells are attracting attention as eco-friendly energy sources in the future because they can generate power with high efficiency by combining them with electric motors.

 Until now, the two companies are conducting various case studies, including type approval.
 The companies are conducting prototype design on 500kW bunkering ships, 7.5MW MR, and 15MW LR2 ships, respectively, and based on this, 
we are striving to become a pioneer in the eco-friendly ship field.
