Functions
Functions
Extend the range of zero-emission operations using batteries, fuel cells and green fuels
Maritime vessels that recharge often or have enough battery energy storage capacity can achieve zero-emission operations using batteries alone. Unfortunately, for many vessels this is not the case. However, zero-emission operations can be achieved using battery energy storage together with a marine fuel cell system and a green fuel source, such as hydrogen. With this combination, vessels can maintain zero-emission operations for longer without refueling or recharging. When green hydrogen is used as the fuel source, water is the only system exhaust. The result is an efficient and environmentally friendly power source, ideal for operations in emissions-restricted ports, harbors and zones.
Built specifically for marine applications
Inherently gas safe
Flexible and modular design
Scalable to meet any power demand
Compatible with next generation fuel cell modules
CoPilot system for optimization of power distribution between FCS and ESS
Remote performance monitoring capabilities
Designed for cost-effective maintenance
Development of the Corvus Pelican Fuel Cell System
The product was developed as part of the H2NOR project, a joint collaboration between Corvus Energy, Toyota and other partners.
