Market trends

Since 2019, the European Partnership for Clean Hydrogen has been established with the aim of creating a strong, innovative, and competitive clean hydrogen sector in Europe that can support and enable the energy transition. The European Union is investing in hydrogen energy for mobility. In 2020, the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Centre was launched by EIT InnoEnergy to support the development of a $100 billion green hydrogen economy by 2025 potential to create 500,000 jobs. Breakthrough Energy, founded by Bill Gates and other tech and business leaders, supports this initiative. The primary goal is to reduce the cost difference between carbon-emitting technologies and green hydrogen to encourage its use in industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, and heavy transport, as well as in energy storage. The EU in particular has $4.56 billion of annual funding potential for hydrogen projects in 2021-30.

The concept of hydrogen-powered boats is a new idea in maritime transportation. Several European boat companies are planning to launch these boats in 2024/2025, aligning with the growing trend toward sustainable transportation in the industry.

From vision to solution

Electrify H2 AS was founded with a vision to address the growing need for clean and efficient maritime transportation solutions. Our team identified a gap in the market for a unique product that combined the benefits of hydrogen fuel cells with the practicality of a boat. We aimed to create a vehicle that would meet the demands of an environmentally conscious society, providing environmental sustainability, cost-effectiveness, transportation efficiency, reduced noise pollution, and versatility. The rising demand for green boats, especially for coast guard, mini-ferry and port services needs, gave us added confidence in the potential for our product. By harnessing the power of hydrogen fuel cell technology, we aim to offer a sustainable and reliable solution to the challenges of today.

Currently maritime transportation represents 15,3% of total carbon emissions. Hydrogen-powered boats are a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport, replacing fossil fuels with zero-emission transport. They have a similar environmental impact as electric boats and are more cost-effective over their lifetime due to lower hydrogen production costs. They also need to refuel 10 times less often than electric boats, providing an efficient transportation solution.

Our hydrogen-powered boat represents a step forward in the transition to clean, renewable energy, and we are committed to providing a high-quality, low-emission solution that makes a positive impact on the environment while meeting the needs of the market. The development of environmentally friendly maritime transport is supported by EU funds and provides benefits for clients who perform inland and coastal waterway maritime operations, whether for pleasure or in the line of duty.

Product

• Zero-emission transportation: The boat produces only water as a by-product, making it a clean and environmentally friendly mode of maritime transportation.
• Longer range and convenient refueling: Hydrogen fuel cell boats have a significantly longer range compared to battery-electric boats, and refueling with hydrogen is becoming increasingly convenient as more hydrogen refueling stations are being built.
• Lower operating costs: Hydrogen fuel cell boats are more cost-efficient than traditional fossil fuel-powered boats, and the cost of hydrogen fuel is expected to decrease over time.
• Multiple applications: The boat is suitable for a range of uses including military, coastal guards, port services, and pleasure travel, filling a need in the market for clean and efficient transportation in these areas.

Our hydrogen-powered boats help address environmental concerns by:

• Producing zero emissions, reducing carbon footprint and promoting a cleaner environment.
• Improving air quality by emitting no harmful pollutants.
• Using renewable energy sources, making it a sustainable transportation option.
• Reducing reliance on finite and polluting energy sources.
• Providing a sustainable maritime transportation option for various needs including coastal guard, port services, mini ferry, as well as leisure.

In 2023, Electrify H2 developed the concept of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered boat. This innovative product aims to assist coastal guards, port services, and pleasure boat enthusiasts in providing more environmentally friendly transportation services to the public. The product concept and its key components are depicted schematically in the accompanying picture.
AS Electrify H2 is set to revolutionize coastal and inland maritime transport with its hydrogen-powered boats andbrings the future of sustainable maritime transportation to the market. The hydrogen-powered drive system will be skillfully engineered and installed at Electrify H2's Ogre manufacturing facility. The compact electric motor, hydrogen fuel cells, and other components will be strategically positioned for optimal performance.
