Supplemental power could be the key to the increasing adoption of hydrogen fuel cells by owners of large deepsea tonnage, believes Tore Enger, founder of ship supplier Teco Maritime and green technology spin-off Teco 2030.

Until recently, Enger thought shortsea shipping would be the key market. But now he is pitching his products to deepsea owners to help decarbonise stays in port, with hopes that hydrogen solutions can replace diesel as a source of supplemental and on-board power.
