Air Products has successfully supplied liquid hydrogen to the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell superyacht, “Breakthrough”, built by Feadship, the Air Products Europe reported in its LinkedIn.
This achievement marks a significant step forward in sustainable maritime innovation, proving that hydrogen is ready to play a central role in the future of marine transportation.
“As ports and shipping lines seek sustainable energy solutions, hydrogen will play a crucial role in decarbonizing global trade routes. The successful deployment of “Breakthrough” proves that the transition is already underway,” said Caroline Stancell, Global Vice President of Hydrogen for Mobility at Air Products.
“It is a significant milestone for this groundbreaking project that the cryogenic tank, designed by MAN Cryo, has been filled with liquid hydrogen for the first time. Thanks to the excellent cooperation between MAN Cryo and Air Products, we have successfully integrated two crucial parts of the hydrogen supply chain, enabling marine vessels to operate on sustainable fuel. This achievement also marks a significant milestone for the marine sector, showcasing that storage of liquid hydrogen below deck for use as ship fuel is now reality,” said Sofia Liedholm, Engineering Manager – Design & Project at MAN Energy Solutions.
