Ammonia is going to play a pivotal role in decarbonizing the global maritime industry, but no vessels of any size today are equipped to use the fuel.
The great opportunity offered by this new green fuel does not come without challenges: manufacturers and engineers must face key technical hurdles and safety issues in the design of ammonia engines and fuel cells; port operators and fuel suppliers must provide bunkering infrastructure; energy companies will need to invest in solar, wind and other renewable-energy capacities to produce enough green ammonia.
The goal of the digital workshop is to set up a discussion about both the opportunities and issues, involving subjects at the forefront of this innovative path:
SHIPOWNERS, SHIPBUILDERS, SUPPLIERS, REGISTERS, PORTS, ASSOCIATIONS AND POLICY MAKERS.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
SHIPFC project will install the world’s first high-power ammonia fuel cell on a vessel, with the ultimate goal of demonstrating the feasibility of ammonia fuel cells for ocean going vessels and long sea voyages: effectively opening up a completely new option for zero-emission shipping and creating the starting point to build up the market for zero-carbon fuels.
