I’ve talked about hydrogen fuel cell boats many times in the past. But, one I’ve neglected to mention (and thanks to Heinz in Germany for sending this in) is the Hydra 1 fuel cell boat that was launched in the year 2000. Some of the previous fuel cell boats I’ve mentioned include the Duffy Ferryboat […]

Zemships (zero emission ships) will be cruising Alster Lake near Hamburg, Germany this summer. Almost a year ago, I had talked about the $6.7 million Zemships project, which is a hydrogen fuel cell ferryboat that will carry 100-passengers across the lake. The Zemship is a hybrid vehicle using both fuel cell and battery pack for […]

This week both the Canadians and British have set sail on hydrogen fuel cell boats. In Canada, Jim Harrington, president of AGO Electronics, put a 300-watt Horizon fuel cell system in a 19-foot sloop and sailed it successfully, putting out zero emissions. In the UK, today, the University of Birmingham is unveiling its fully functional […]

Last week I blogged about a Dutch hydrogen ferryboat being built called the Fuel Cell Boat BV. Now, I wish to report that there are several other hydrogen ferryboats in the planning stages as well. Besides the Duffy hydrogen ferryboat prototype that was demonstrated in Newport Beach, California in 2003, there are plans to build […]

A consortium of Dutch companies, called Fuel Cell Boat BV has agree to build the first commercial hydrogen boat by the end of 2007. The hydrogen boat will be used in Amsterdam for transporting up to 100 passengers at a time. The Dutch fuel cell boat already has a group of waiting customers as 600 […]

A Dutch fuel cell boat, the Hydrogen Xperiance, will be making waves on June 23, 2006. The hydrogen boat will be introduced at the Frisian Nuon Solar Challenge boat race as a “chase” express boat for VIP’s. The hydrogen boat was created by Ecofys in collaboration with Ganita Shipyard. The Hydrogen Xperiance will travel the […]
