Hexagon Lincoln, a subsidiary of Hexagon Composites, was selected to supply high-pressure hydrogen tanks for the first hydrogen fuel cell ship in the United States.
Golden Gate Zero Emissions Ocean (GGZEM) received a $3 million grant from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to build the first hydrogen fuel cell vessel in the United States with the support of the California Climate Investment (CCI) program. status. The zero-emission ship will be the first such ship in the United States and will highlight the advantages of hydrogen fuel cells in commercial shipping. The 70-foot hybrid hydrogen fuel cell catamaran "water flow" has a maximum speed of 22 knots and is powered by dual motors, fuel cells and battery packs. Hexagon Composites' hydrogen tanks contain enough hydrogen to operate the vessel between refueling for two days.
Trond Seth, vice president of Hydrogen Business at Hexagon Composites, said: "We are pleased that Golden Gate Zero Emissions has chosen to build the first hydrogen fuel cell vessel in the US." "California is a leader in the hydrogen competition, we I really believe that this groundbreaking project will be an eye-opener for the shipping industry, indicating that zero-emissions technology is already available."
Hydrogen is a clean and safe energy carrier that can be used as a power fuel for a wide range of applications and can be easily stored on a large scale. The life cycle characteristics of a fully composite pressure cylinder with a plastic liner and carbon fiber construction make it more suitable for storing hydrogen than a metal liner replacement.
After the ship is launched in mid-2019, it will operate in the San Francisco Bay in the first three months.
