Fuel cell firm PowerCell has secured a SEK 15 million order from H2SITE for an ammonia-to-power project for commercial vessels.
PowerCell will supply Marine System 225 fuel cell systems and provide engineering, integration and commissioning services for the HydraNord Power project in Norway, the firm said in a press release yesterday.
Led by H2SITE, the project will use membrane reactor technology to convert ammonia into hydrogen, which will then be used by the fuel cells to generate electricity.
The integrated system is designed to deliver 700 kW of net electrical power, primarily for auxiliary power needs onboard vessels.
Testing will take place at Energy House in Stord, Norway. Development and integration are planned for 2027, with commissioning targeted for early 2028.
The project is supported by Norwegian state enterprise Enova.
