Geplaatst op: 1 mei 2023

As a leader in sustainability in yachting Jan-Bart Verkuyl, Feadship Director / CEO Royal Van Lent Shipyard is proud to announce Feadship’s advanced solution for a more sustainable yachting: a fully certified liquid hydrogen fuel-cell yacht.

What?

The yacht will house a cryogenic fuel tank, storing liquified hydrogen at around -250°C, being the densest storage method of pure hydrogen. This fuel cell bank will be sufficient to sail at a decent speed while still powering the hotel load in summer conditions.

Why Hydrogen?

Hydrogen has an increasing interest since it can be produced efficiently through electrolysis from green electricity. The yacht will have no harmful local nor global emissions when sailing on the green hydrogen.
