Towards zero: Comparing the greenhouse gas impact of methanol to hydrogen generators and diesel engines for marine propulsion

• E1 Marine has developed an emissions model to analyze greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and regulated emissions. The model has been validated by a third party (Thetius)
  
• E1 Marine uses methanol steam reforming to generate hydrogen for fuel cells in maritime vessels and ports. In this case study, the model was applied to a 2000 HP tugboat, The M/V Hydrogen One, that will be operating on inland waterways around the gulf coast
• The study compared GHG and other regulated emissions for the fuel cell-powered option versus two 1000 HP EPA Tier 3 diesel engines
• This study demonstrates the potential of e1 Marine’s methanol to hydrogen technology as a cleaner emissions alternative to diesel engines in maritime transportation for fuel cell-powered vessels. The model represents a glide path to support the maritime industry in achieving global emissions targets

Transition to emission-free commuting on water

The acronym TECOW stands for the EU funded project, which aims to develop and produce the first hydrogen driven high-speed ferries. However, it is not only about technology. Green City Ferries has over its ten years experienced what are the real problems for the transition. By definition, big changes cannot be executed within existing systems, rules, and regulations. Recently UN General Secretary Guterres said that the technology is there, but we lack decisions. True, but it is not the whole story. Today’s systems solve yesterday’s problems. We need new ways of working to succeed with the transition and solve today’s problems.

• Ten years with Green City Ferries
• Implications of new zero-emission technology
• Transition plans or transition strategy
• Nothing happens! What’s the problem?
• Route planning to increase cabin factor
• Changing the system. New ways of thinking
