韩国造船与海洋工程公司展示SOFC燃料电池应用船舶运营
韩国首尔2022 年 10 月 11 日/美通社/ -- 现代重工集团 (HHI Group) 通过启动一个应用燃料电池的示范项目加快了环保船舶时代的步伐。发电能源,用于大型船舶。
HHI集团造船部门的中间控股公司韩国造船和海洋工程(KSOE)于10月11日表示,它与全球能源公司壳牌、斗山燃料电池、HyAxiom和DNV签署了一项联合体协议,为船舶展示燃料电池。
KSOE副董事长兼首席执行官Samhyun Ka出席了协议签字仪式;KSOE高级研究中心主任Sungjoon Kim;壳牌高级副总裁Karrie Trauth;HyAxiom总裁兼首席执行官Jeff Hyungrak Chung,斗山燃料电池执行副总裁兼首席运营官车厚锡;以及 DNV 韩国和日本区域经理 Vidar Dolonen 。
根据协议,2025年起,HHI集团将在壳牌公司运营的17.4万立方米LNG运输船上使用600KW高效固体氧化物燃料电池(SOFC)发电。在此基础上,将开发和供应高- 高效、环保的船舶,可长期将燃料电池应用于推进动力源。
这艘LNG运输船将使用燃料电池作为辅助动力装置(APU),并在实际贸易航线上进行为期一年的示范。
基于50多年的造船专业知识,HHI集团将建造一艘船,设计和安装SOFC放置,并整合船舶系统。
壳牌将负责管理和运营该船以及管理示范项目,而斗山燃料电池和HyAxiom将为该船开发和供应燃料电池。DNV将对示范船的结构和设备进行认可注册检查。
国际海事组织 (IMO) 宣布了旨在到 2050 年将温室气体排放量比 2008 年减少 50% 的环境法规,以减少航运业的温室气体排放。因此,应用燃料电池等高效燃料创新系统以及液化天然气、氢和氨等环保能源的下一代船舶受到了极大的关注。
"造船和航运业正在经历快速的环保和数字化创新,"KSOE 副主席 Ka 说。"我们希望通过这种燃料电池应用船舶示范,专注于下一代环保船舶技术并加快海洋脱碳。"
壳牌航运与海事高级副总裁Karrie Trauth表示:"这个财团和我们正在开创的尖端技术可以帮助在短期内减少碳密集度的运营,同时通过混合传统方式开辟一条通往净零排放的道路。和替代燃料,直到零碳选项大规模可用。我们很高兴能与一些航运界的领先企业合作,他们有着零排放行业的愿景,并正在努力推进航运脱碳。"
除该协议外,HHI 集团正在开发自己的 SOFC 技术以促进燃料电池开发项目。

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Heavy Industries Group (HHI Group) speeds up the era of eco-friendly ships by launching a demonstration project to apply fuel cells, which are in the spotlight as a next-generation energy source, to large vessels.
Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE), the intermediate holding company of HHI Group's shipbuilding sector, said on October 11 that it signed a consortium agreement to demonstrate fuel cells for ships with global energy company Shell, Doosan Fuel Cell, HyAxiom, and DNV.
The agreement signing ceremony was attended by Samhyun Ka, Vice Chairman and CEO of KSOE; Sungjoon Kim, Head of KSOE's Advanced Research Center; Karrie Trauth, Senior Vice President of Shell; Jeff Hyungrak Chung, President and CEO of HyAxiom, Hooseok Che, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Doosan Fuel Cell; and Vidar Dolonen, Regional Manager Korea & Japan, DNV.
According to the agreement, HHI Group will use a 600KW high-efficiency Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) for power generation on a 174,000 cubic-meter LNG carrier to be run by Shell from 2025. Based on this, it will develop and supply high-efficiency, eco-friendly ships that can apply fuel cells to propulsion power sources in the long term.
This LNG carrier will use fuel cells as an auxiliary power unit (APU) and perform its demonstration for one year on the actual trade route.
Based on the expertise in shipbuilding for over 50 years, HHI Group will build a ship, design and install SOFC placements, and integrate the ship system.
Shell will be in charge of managing and operating the ship, as well as managing the demonstration project, while Doosan Fuel Cell and HyAxiom will develop and supply fuel cells for the ship. DNV will conduct inspections of the structure and equipment of the demonstration ship for accreditation registration.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has announced environmental regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from that of 2008 by 2050 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry. Accordingly, next-generation ships that apply high-efficiency fuel innovation systems, such as fuel cells, along with eco-friendly energy sources, such as LNG, hydrogen, and ammonia, have been drawing significant attention.
"The shipbuilding and shipping industries are experiencing rapid innovations environmentally friendly and digitally," said KSOE Vice Chairman Ka. "We expect to preoccupy next-generation eco-friendly ship technologies and speed up marine decarbonization through this fuel cell-applied ship demonstration."
Karrie Trauth, SVP of Shipping & Maritime at Shell, said "This consortium and the cutting-edge technology we're pioneering could help deliver less carbon-intensive operations in the near term while unlocking a pathway to net-zero through the blending of conventional and alternative fuels until zero-carbon options are available at scale. We're excited to be collaborating with some of the leading names in shipping who share a vision of a zero-emission industry and are working hard to progress shipping decarbonization."
In addition to this agreement, HHI Group is developing its own SOFC technologies to promote fuel cell development projects.
