EH Group’s EH Fuel Cell System Trace-M250, designed for high power and maritime applications, has received approval in principle from DNV.
The DNV review confirmed that the fuel cell design meets all the applicable maritime rules, regulations, codes and standards.
Based on EH Group’s stack technology, the EH Trace-M250 module is designed to set new standards for maritime fuel cell system efficiency and safety, in a more compact and lightweight module. The type approval process is already underway to fully certify the product.
“Achieving approval in principle is a key milestone for EH Group. It demonstrates our commitment toward standards and norms, and an important step in deploying our cutting-edge technology toward the decarbonization of the marine sector,” said Mardit Matian, the founder of EH Group Engineering.
Danny Knippen, certification engineer and project manager at EH Group Engineering, commented, “This is an important step in the wider commercialization of our 250kW fuel cell system, featuring several unique innovations that were approved by DNV. It will also enable us to scale up to meet the high power requirements of the marine sector and to provide turnkey solutions.”
