Marine PEM Fuel Cells

What this topic covers

Platinum-containing fuel cells in selected marine power demonstrations and applications.

Core energy-system ideas

Marine systems impose durability, safety and space constraints.

PEM technology can be used where hydrogen supply and vessel architecture are suitable.

Hydrogen bunkering and vessel operation remain specialist regulated activities.

Important tradeoffs

Platinum intensity should be compared on a consistent application basis.

Material and performance evidence

Not every fuel-cell chemistry uses platinum, so technology type matters when estimating demand.

Lifecycle perspective

End-of-life recovery opportunity grows as installed platinum-containing equipment accumulates.
