“…This brings new opportunities to the general arrangement of the ship. Leites et al [148] installed the SOFCs decentralized, which enhanced the safety and availability of the ship in case of damage. Weidle et al [149] designed a concept for an Arctic patrol vessel using SOFC to generate power.…”

“…They designed a cooled recirculation loop because commercial blowers could not operate at high temperatures. A 27 kW containerised demonstrator was tested in the multipurpose vessel "MS Forester", which demonstrated an electrical efficiency of 50% on low sulphur diesel [148,183]. In 2016, the project continued with SchIBZ2 to test the seaworthiness of the individual components, optimise them, and further develop them for operation with LNG [26,184,185].…”

The marine industry must reduce emissions to comply with recent and future regulations. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are seen as a promising option for efficient power generation on ships with reduced emissions. However, it is unclear how the devices can be integrated and how this affects the operation of the ship economically and environmentally. This paper reviews studies that consider SOFC for marine applications. First, this article discusses noteworthy developments in SOFC systems, including power plant options and fuel possibilities. Next, it presents the design drivers for a marine power plant and explores how an SOFC system performs. Hereafter, the possibilities for integrating the SOFC system with the ship are examined, also considering economic and environmental impact. The review shows unexplored potential to successfully integrate SOFC with thermal and electrical systems in marine vessels. Additionally, it is identified that there are still possibilities to improve marine SOFC systems, for which a holistic approach is needed for design at cell, stack, module, and system level. Nevertheless, it is expected that hybridisation is needed for a technically and economically feasible ship. Despite its high cost, SOFC systems could significantly reduce GHG, NOX, SOX, PM, and noise emissions in shipping.

“…The majority of maritime fuel cell projects has increased further in the last decade. Notable projects include the ship-integrated fuel cell (SchIBZ) project [122,123], where an SOFC system was developed using low-sulfur diesel, and the Pa-X-ell project where a small methanol-fueled HT-PEMFC system was marinized and demonstrated on a cruise ship [123]. The MARANDA project validated a 165 kW fuel cell system on a research vessel in arctic conditions.…”

“…Within the schibz project a 50-kW diesel SOFC unit was tested on board the cargo ship MS Forester, which demonstrated an efficiency of up to 55% [2,39,40]; • Within the ShipFC project, the possibility of deliver a 2 MW SOFC fueled by Ammonia to the offshore vessel Viking Energy [13]; • Within the Nautilus project, the possibility of developing and validating a hybrid power system based on SOFC fueled by LNG, a battery system, and the existing internal combustion engine, which will be applied on board a cruise ship [13].…”

Over the years, attention to climate change has meant that international agreements have been drawn up and increasingly stringent regulations aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the marine sector have been issued. A possible alternative technology to the conventional and polluting diesel internal combustion engines is represented by the Fuel Cells. In the present article, the preliminary design of two energy systems based on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) fed by bio-methane was carried out for a particular cruise ship. The SOFC systems were sized to separately supply the electric energies required for the ship propulsion and to power the other ship electrical utilities. The SOFC systems operate in nominal conditions at constant load and other electrical storage systems (batteries) cover the fluctuations in the electrical energy demand. Furthermore, the heat produced by the SOFCs is exploited for co-/tri-generation purposes, to satisfy the ship thermal energy needs. The preliminary design of the new energy systems was made using electronic spreadsheets. The new energy system has obtained the primary energy consumption and CO2 emissions reductions of 12.74% and 40.23% compared to the conventional energy system. Furthermore, if bio-methane is used, a reduction of 95.50% could be obtained in net CO2 emissions.
