GeoPura Demonstrates Hydrogen Power for Electric Vessel at Tilbury Port
WHY IT MATTERS
It shows hydrogen can power electric vessels, offering a pathway to lower emissions in maritime transport.
What happened
At the Port of Tilbury on the Thames, GeoPura installed one of its hydrogen power units on a floating platform to charge a commercial electric vessel.
The system supplied 300 kW through five Ballard fuel cells, illustrating hydrogen’s capability to deliver substantial power to maritime electric propulsion.
The setup, featuring a barge and visible hydrogen equipment, highlights a practical application of hydrogen fuel cells in the shipping sector and underscores the growing interest in alternative fuels for reducing port emissions.
