The marine industry is facing major challenges when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In order to meet these requirements and make shipping more sustainable, a switch to alternative energy sources is unavoidable. One particularly promising option is the use of hydrogen for propulsion.
Hydrogen offers many advantages over conventional fossil fuels. It is clean, efficient and renewable. Compared to diesel or gas oil, hydrogen only produces water during combustion and no harmful emissions. This can significantly reduce the CO2 footprint of ships.
Another advantage of hydrogen is its high energy density. In contrast to other renewable energy sources such as batteries, hydrogen can store large amounts of energy and transport it over long distances. This makes it particularly attractive for use in shipping, where high performance and long operating times are required.
The SUCO Group with ESI and SUCO has been producing pressure transmitters and pressure switches for hydrogen for many years and is represented in numerous applications from hydrogen combustion engines to fuel cells and also in the monitoring of H2 storage.
In addition, ESI has been producing pressure measurement technology for the marine industry for decades and offers pressure sensors with DNV-GL approval.
SUCO and ESI have now bundled this joint knowledge and therefore offer hydrogen pressure transmitters with DNV-GL and ATEX marine approval.
