Ecomar Propulsion have agreed their third partnership agreement at NOR-Shipping 2023 with Swiss H₂ fuel cell specialists, EH Group Engineering AG.

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

Eugene Bari, CEO 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 H₂ 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.”

Specifically aimed at decarbonization of commercial vessels, the partners’ cutting-edge solutions aim to show how shipping can make the transition to clean propulsion much faster than anyone imagined even five years ago.

“Our aim is to replace last centuries tech with a better alternative,” said Bari. “The days of the dinosaur diesels are done.”

“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 decarbonization,” said Mardit Matian, Founder of EH Group.

“The market is requesting fully integrated clean power solutions that meet the challenging conditions of the marine environment. Leveraging our innovative H₂ fuel cell technology with Ecomar’s domain expertise will greatly accelerate this process,” added Christopher Brandon, Co-Founder.
