Hydrogen-battery hybrid propulsion for workboats

1 mention

Hydrogen-battery hybrid propulsion combines hydrogen fuel cells with battery energy storage to power vessels, allowing flexible operation between zero-emission hydrogen mode and battery-supported modes. In the TransShip II project on Prince Madog, the goal is to complete a hydrogen-battery retrofit that can demonstrate zero-emission operation and inform adoption on workboats and larger commercial vessels.
