Ecomar Propulsion has agreed to their third partnership agreement at Nor-Shipping 2023 with Swiss hydrogen fuel cell specialists - EH Group Engineering AG.

The partnership will see the partners integrating a series of new innovations into 200kW+ marinised fuel cells. The partners aim to rationalise complexity and use a new series of control strategies for the seamless integration of fuel cells into Ecomar Propulsion’s zero-emission marine powertrains.

Hydrogen-powered Energy Storage System

Eugene Bari, CEO of Ecomar Propulsion said, “Working with EH Group is a hugely valuable partnership for us. By combining our expertise we can accelerate towards a fully integrated hydrogen-powered Energy Storage System into our drive train. When you join together Swiss precision with British innovation you can guarantee the result will be a world-beating product.” 

Decarbonisation

The partners’ cutting-edge solutions aim to show how shipping can make the transition to clean propulsion"

Eugene Bari adds, "Specifically aimed at decarbonisation of commercial vessels, the partners’ cutting edge solutions aim to show how shipping can make the transition to clean propulsion much faster than anyone imaged even five years ago.“

"Our aim is to replace last century's tech with a better alternative,” said Eugene Bari, adding “The days of the dinosaur diesels are done.”

Plug-and-play solution

We are excited to be taking our relationship with Ecomar Propulsion to the next level. Moving fast and offering a complete plug-and-play solution is the key to meeting the pressing needs of marine decarbonisation,” stated Mardit Matian, Founder of EH Group.
