The European shipbuilding industry is through the promotion of research and development of fuel cell power boat, trying to challenge the Far East, Japan, South Korea Shipbuilding top three.
Energy and Environment Programme, according to KR head KimMan-eung held in the near future “economic environment-friendly fuel cell power project Boat Seminar”, said, “Europe and the United States advanced countries, especially Europe, Sony battery are actively developing fuel cell technology, goals Watch Japan and South Korea shipbuilding power, hoping to fuel cell power boat and restore status to revive shipbuilding and equipment industry. “Kim said,” Europe is currently promoting e4ship project is expected to invest 50 million euros in 2016 was the original fuel motor boat technology. ”
Environmental treaty now ship as standard stricter and fuel prices were rising trend, the global set off a highly efficient, environment-friendly vessels economic boom. Including Europe and the United States, including the advanced countries have zeroed in on board fuel cell power development. South Korea as the world’s number one shipbuilding power, Sony VGP-BPS9 battery natural demand for more urgent. To this end, South Korea energy, technology, assessment and Planning Institute (KETEP) from June this year to February 2015 launched the “megawatt-class ship auxiliary power fuel cell system development” project.
It is estimated that South Korean ship fuel cell market has reached 4-6 trillion won (35.8-53.7 billion dollars), the European market to 50 trillion won per year.
