5 1 Introduction The dissemination work shop was organised parallel to the Piero Lunghi European Fuel cell conference EFC2015 in Naples, Italy on December 15, The agenda is attached in Annex 1. The presentation of Damen on Codes and standards was combined with a Codes and standards workshop on fuel cells which was held parallel to the PURE workshop. The name Neptune s hydrogen and Fuel cells was chosen to give the workshop a broader scope than the PURE project only. This was reflected in the first contribution by HFCS which dealt with a general overview of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies possible in the maritime sector. Furthermore, the main contributions were made by all PURE partners, specifically focussing on the dissemination of the results of their work. During the workshop and during the conference the PURE prototype was displayed to the public (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Summary We have seen nice presentations about technology advances and system designs. In general the maritime sector is ready for introduction of fuel cells and hydrogen on board and the first examples are at sea. Specific code and standards for maritime applications of fuel cells and hydrogen are not there yet. The PURE prototypes are ready for debugging and testing. The systems include the latest developments on MEA improvements from DTU, sulphur tolerant ATR catalysts and desulphurization materials from APTL/CERTH and the 3D printed metal heat exchangers from HyGear. The testing of the systems at the environmental testing lab of JRC and on board of a ship is planned for the first half of HYG-PUR-RP.012 Confidential & Proprietary 4

7 2 Overview of contributions The first contribution from HyGear (Ellart de Wit) touched the general topic of fuel cells for ships. There are several projects in which fuel cells are built in ships, most of them small but some bigger applications are also shown. Figure 3: Ellart de Wit shows ships with fuel cells The conclusion was that the maritime industry is ready for the integration of fuel cells in certain ship types. Demonstrations are necessary to convince the shipping industry about the advantages of the technology. Pieter Huyskens from Damen Shipyards talked about the many ways rules and regulations are defined by international, national and regional governing bodies. IMO, flagstates, class societies and port authorities, all can have separate regulations which makes it a complicated picture. In this part of the workshop attendants of a parallel workshop on Fuel Cell Deployment and Standardization: formulating univocal procedures relevant for industry joined our workshop to have mutual benefits from each other s work. The focus areas of both projects do not overlap so it was positive that the two groups could learn and exchange ideas. Currently there are no specific rules for fuel cells and Hydrogen, but a lot of regulations and guidlines are close to what is needed for safe use. Each class society have their own guidelines; those of Germanischer Lloyds seem to be the most advanced. HYG-PUR-RP.012 Confidential & Proprietary 6

8 Figure 4: Pieter Huyskens talks about Codes and standards in the maritime sector. The next contributions were specific dealing with the PURE project. Dick Lieftink (HFCS) described the requirements and specifications of the PURE system. Jens Oluf Jensen (DTU) talked about the development of the binder free and reduced Pt loading MEA s which are used in the stacks of the PURE system. He also showed the first promising results in sulphur tolerance of the MEA s, which showed no decrease in performance at the operating points of the fuel cell. Figure 5: Jens Oluf Jensen talking about competition between CO and H 2 APTL/CERTH showed two presentations, one on their development of sulphur tolerant ATR catalysts and the other on the testing of high temperature ( C) desulfurization materials. Dimitrios Zarvalis showed data on newly synthesized ATR materials showing a stabilized HYG-PUR-RP.012 Confidential & Proprietary 7

9 sulphur tolerant catalyst. This opened the way for Harry Mandilas work on downstream desulphurisation. Several parameters were tested resulting in delivery of newly developed monoliths to HyGear beating the specifications on performance and size.. Both the best ATR catalyst and desulfurization materials are used in the PURE system. Figure 6: Dimitrios Zarvalis describing the catalyst manufacturing procedure Thomas Malkov from the Joint Research Centre shown their testing capabilities for environmental testing and shock and vibration testing. Also he commented on the testing procedures set up for the maritime industry. Figure 7: Thomas Malkov shows standards for fuel cell testing HYG-PUR-RP.012 Confidential & Proprietary 8

10 In the last technical presentation Dick Lieftink showed designs and data from the various modules in the PURE system combining all the knowledge from the previous work packages. One of the two prototypes was shown at the workshop. Initial module testing went very well, but the proof will be in the testing at Damen and JRC. After the presentations a discussion with the audience was experienced very open and fruitful. First, a discussion arose about comparison in volume and weight of fuel cell solutions compared to batteries and engines/ battery solutions with the audience. Damen has a big interest in a such a study. Another point of discussion was the fuel used for the energy supply in the maritime sector. This became a broader discussion than recreational yachts alone. Currently liquefied natural gas (LNG) become more and more important for propulsion of ships. The next thing will be methanol. This is one of the most transported chemicals and therefore interesting to use as fuel. HYG-PUR-RP.012 Confidential & Proprietary 9
