An independent centre for the testing and demonstration of marine hydrogen propulsion systems in the southwest of the UK launched on Wednesday (April 26).
Dubbed the Hydrogen Boat Centre, a joint project between Pure Energy Professionals (PEP) and the University of Exeter (UoE), the facility aimed at accelerating the transition to clean hydrogen propulsion in boats offers a testing rig for a variety of components or complete systems.
The rig sees a hydrogen fuel cell and battery system propel one motor in the set-up, while a second motor on a dynamometer provides a resistive load to simulate the resistance a vessel’s propellor would meet in the water.
