Samsung heavy develops liquid hydrogen fuel cell system for vessels.
Samsung Heavy Industries announced that it has obtained approval in principle (AIP) for a liquid hydrogen fuel cell system for ship propulsion from DNV, a Norwegian classification organization.
The system propels a vessel using the electric power generated by liquid hydrogen and polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Samsung Heavy Industries developed the system through joint research with Korean hydrogen-related companies and received a classification certificate.
A polymer electrolyte fuel cell uses a polymer membrane as an electrolyte. It operates at a relatively low temperature. It is suitable for applications in the mobility field because it can start quickly and has strong durability even after repeated starts and stops, experts say.
