Sydrogen, a leading innovator in H₂ fuel cell technology, has received basic design assessment (BDA) statement from Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV) for their Maritime Fuel Cell – SydroPOWER series model MZ250N – as the focus model for the maritime industry. This significant milestone marks a pivotal step towards commercializing Sydrogen's advanced fuel cell solutions for the maritime industry.

Sydrogen's SydroPOWER series leverages proven automotive1 H₂ fuel cell technology from its partner Shanghai H₂ Propulsion Technology (SHPT) to deliver high efficiency and environmental benefits. The system is designed to provide reliable power for a wide range of maritime applications, from commercial vessels to offshore platforms.

Additionally, by providing an alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based power systems, Sydrogen's SydroPOWER series significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and promote cleaner oceans.

This BDA Statement, which represents a more advanced stage of validation compared to an Approval in Principle, is a testament to the rigorous design and evaluation processes that the SydroPOWER MZ250N has undergone, demonstrating compliance with the high safety, performance, and reliability standards. This achievement underscores Sydrogen's commitment to fostering strong industry relationships and driving innovation, which will support adopting clean energy solutions in the maritime sector, contributing to a sustainable and zero-emission future.

With the BDA Statement secured, Sydrogen is poised to accelerate the deployment of its SydroPOWER MZ250N Maritime Fuel Cell technology, paving the way for widespread adoption in the maritime industry. The company is actively engaging with potential customers and partners to explore opportunities for pilot projects and commercial installations.

Teo Eng Dih, Chief Executive, Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, said, “We welcome the efforts by Sydrogen and its partners in advancing H₂ fuel cell technology for maritime use. The Basic Design Assessment is an encouraging milestone that reflects momentum across the industry to explore cleaner energy solutions. We invite more innovators and solution providers to support the maritime energy transition.”

Gian Yi-Hsen, CEO Sydrogen, said, "Receiving this Basic Design Assessment Statement from Bureau Veritas marks a transformative moment for Sydrogen Energy. This achievement is not just a validation of our technology's safety and reliability, it represents a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionize maritime energy solutions. The development of MZ250N under the SydroPOWER series, alongside this statement, demonstrates our commitment to leading the maritime sector's transition to clean energy alternatives."

Gian Yi-Hsen continued, "The maritime industry is at a crucial turning point in its journey toward decarbonization. With Bureau Veritas's BDA Statement and the development of SydroPOWER MZ250N, we are not just participating in this transformation, we are helping to lead it. The SydroPOWER series provides shipowners and operators with practical, efficient pathways to meet their environmental goals while maintaining operational excellence."

Matthieu de Tugny, President of Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, said, “BV is pleased to grant BDA Statement to Sydrogen’s MZ250N Maritime Fuel Cell, recognizing its potential to advance H₂-based energy solutions for the maritime industry. This reflects our commitment to supporting innovative technologies that enhance safety, reliability, and environmental performance. H₂ fuel cells offer a promising step toward decarbonization, and we look forward to collaborating with Sydrogen and industry stakeholders to drive sustainable progress in maritime energy.”
