FellowSHIP Listed as a Top Sustainable Solution
The Norway-based FellowSHIP project selected for inclusion in Sustainia100 – a guide to global sustainable solutions
FellowSHIP, a hybrid energy system for merchant ships which couples a fuel cell with advanced batteries, saving fuel and reducing emissions, is added to Sustainia100 - a guide to 100 society-transforming, sustainable and readily available solutions.
The project, an R&D collaboration between DNV, Wartsila, and Eidesvik, is demonstrating the use of a fuel cell integrated with a battery pack aboard the vessel Viking Lady.
"On behalf of DNV and our partners Wärtsila and Eidesvik, I would like to say we are honored that this panel of global sustainability leaders considers FellowSHIP among the top sustainable solutions available today," said Bjørn K. Haugland, DNV Group Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer.
“Commercial shipping is recognized as one of the growing sources of carbon emissions. The FellowSHIP maritime hybrid energy system, pairing a fuel cell with batteries, can reduce emissions by up to 50% and boost fuel efficiency by up to 30% over conventional maritime propulsion systems.”
