ABB ha firmado un Memorando de Entendimiento con Hydrog\u00e8ne de France (HDF) para fabricar conjuntamente sistemas de pilas de combustible de megavatios destinados a alimentar buques de transporte mar\u00edtimo. Los dos socios quieren optimizar la producci\u00f3n de grandes sistemas para poder construir centrales el\u00e9ctricas de pilas de combustible en la gama de megavatios para buques.<\/p>\n
Las empresas conf\u00edan en la cooperaci\u00f3n entre ABB y Ballard Power Systems anunciado en junio de 2018<\/a>. Esta colaboraci\u00f3n ha dado como resultado, tal y como estaba previsto, el desarrollo de un sistema de pila de combustible de este tipo con un alcance de megavatios y que ahora se construir\u00e1 gracias a la nueva cooperaci\u00f3n entre ABB y el especialista en hidr\u00f3geno Hydrog\u00e8ne de France. La producci\u00f3n tendr\u00e1 lugar en una nueva f\u00e1brica de HDF en Burdeos.<\/p>\n HDF se fund\u00f3 en 2012 y desarrolla centrales el\u00e9ctricas multimegavatio renovables que combinan energ\u00eda solar o e\u00f3lica con almacenamiento a largo plazo basado en la tecnolog\u00eda del hidr\u00f3geno. Damien Havard, consejero delegado de HDF, afirma: \"HDF est\u00e1 muy ilusionada de cooperar con ABB para ensamblar y producir sistemas de pilas de combustible a escala megavatio para el mercado marino basados en la tecnolog\u00eda Ballard.\"<\/p>\n Cuando en verano del a\u00f1o pasado ABB anunci\u00f3 tambi\u00e9n la cooperaci\u00f3n con Ballard, tambi\u00e9n revel\u00f3 que el sistema tendr\u00eda una potencia de 3 MW y no ser\u00eda m\u00e1s grande que un motor de barco convencional. \"Con la creciente demanda de soluciones que permitan un transporte mar\u00edtimo sostenible y responsable, estamos seguros de que las pilas de combustible desempe\u00f1ar\u00e1n un papel importante para ayudar a la industria naval a cumplir los objetivos de reducci\u00f3n de CO2\", declar\u00f3 Juha Koskela, Director General de ABB Marine & Ports. \"La firma del memorando de entendimiento con HDF nos acerca un paso m\u00e1s a la disponibilidad de esta tecnolog\u00eda para la propulsi\u00f3n de buques oce\u00e1nicos\".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ABB ha firmado un memorando de entendimiento con Hydrog\u00e8ne de France (HDF) para fabricar conjuntamente sistemas de pilas de combustible de megavatios destinados a alimentar buques de transporte mar\u00edtimo.

With the new solution, this is now to be extended to drives of larger ships. An image distributed Swiss-Swedish company ABB, shows a container ship with four hydrogen tanks in the hull, several fuel cells and two Azipod electric drives.<\/p>\n Both ABB and Ballard are gaining momentum with hydrogen propulsion technology in the marine transport sector. Just one year ago<\/a>,\u00a0 Ballard<\/a> Power Systems Europe announced the construction of a Marine Center of Excellence at its facility in Hobro, Denmark, where fuel cell modules for ships will be developed and produced.<\/p>\n In May last year<\/a>, Ballard Power Systems announced its collaboration with ABB and other consortium partners in the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) project Flagships with the aim of developing a fuel cell-powered tug boat for inland waterway vessels. ABB is also collaborating with the research organisation SINTEF of Norway<\/a> to model a complete marine power system in a megawatt-scale propulsion plant.<\/p>\n Other companies collaborating on fuel cell ships include PowerCell of Sweden who have teamed up with Siemens<\/a>. Since shipping has proven to be a significant source of GHG emissions a result of the traditionally low grade \u201cbunker fuel<\/a>\u201d used in ships engines, governments and industry are increasingly looking towards decarbonising the marine transport sector.<\/span> With the greater energy per weight capacity for heavy-duty and long-haul transport than purely battery-electric applications, fuel cell applications for marine vessels are enjoying increasing focus.<\/p>\n
