South Korea's R&D hydrogen fuel cell ship project will start next year

According to South Korea's "Busan Daily" reported on September 24, the "Pingchang 2018" hydrogen fuel cell ship research and development project, one of the government's research and development projects, will be launched next year. If the successful research is successful, Korea will become the second independent global after Germany. Successfully developed a country that is harmless to environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel cell ships. The report said that the project will be promoted by the Korea Environmental Fuel Cell Ship Research Association, the Korea Classification Society, and the Environmental Protection Alliance. Among them, the lead unit's pro-environmental fuel cell ship research conference gathered more than 80 experts and doctors from more than 70 research institutes and university research rooms in Korea. According to the plan, in the next three years, the South Korean government plans to invest 16 billion won (the current exchange rate of the Korean won against the US dollar is about 1,118:1). By 2015, a 100-person passenger boat with a speed of 83.34 kilometers per hour will be developed. A 50KW class high-end hydrogen fuel cell. It is reported that hydrogen fuel ships are economical only when the speed exceeds 83.34 kilometers per hour. However, due to the lack of the core technology of control systems, only one civil hydrogen fuel ship made in Germany is put into operation. The Korean agency predicts that if more than 84,000 ships (2010 benchmarks) operated by the South China Sea are replaced by hydrogen fuel ships, Korea can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 11.43 million tons per year.
