Hydrogen as a Fuel in Maritime Applications : A Study on Implementing Hydrogen as a Fuel Source

Abstract

The thesis is divided in two main parts. The first part features an explanation of hydrogen, its characteristics and the different generation processes to produce it. The second part is the main part of the project. Firstly, the hydrogen gas Storage technology search section which contains a description of the technology and the different standards related on, and the study of the different alternatives of hydrogen gas tanks that can be suitable for the installation. Secondly, there is a refueling process section with an explanation of how the technology and the process of refueling works, and different fueling facilities around Europe and their further development. Following, the use of hydrogen as a cogeneration fuel to improve the A.C. system, with the different systems explanation and improvement process of using the hydrogen gas as a cooler gas. To conclude, the project ends up with a review of the different standards used on hydrogen gas storage.
