Decarbonization of Bulk Carriers : Study Released

The International Council on Clean Transportation just released its latest white paper on potential of using Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Wind-Assisted Propulsion on three ships: a 57,000 deadweight tonne (dwt) coastal dry bulk carrier sailing in China, a 69,000 dwt ore and coal carrier sailing the North American Great Lakes, and a 7,570 dwt cement carrier in northern Europe.  This study investigates the potential of both liquid and compressed hydrogen fuel cells to replace fossil fuels for bulk carriers, including when paired with wind-assisted propulsion in the form of rotor sails.  Read here for full article.
