H2 proof of concept launches in Singapore

In October 2022 the government launched Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy to explore the gas’s potential in reducing the use of fossil fuels.

More recently parliament mandated net-zero emissions by 2050 for harbour craft with the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) playing a key role partnering with industry, harbour craft operators, financial institutions and manufacturers to help early adopters of greener fuels and monitor the progress towards the decarbonisation goal.

As part of this initiative, Pyxis and Sydrogen have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop hydrogen fuel cells solutions for the harbour craft from shore to sea, helping pave the way to net zero.

“Acknowledging the significant challenges that coastal vessel owners and operators face in the transition towards an electric fleet, our goal is to ease and boost adoption by achieving mass commercialisation of electrification technologies,” explained Tommy Phun, founder and chief executive of Pyxis.

David DeVries, chief executive of Sydrogen Energy, added: “Zero emission power generation plays an important role in decarbonising our energy use.

“The proof of concept combines Sydrogen’s deep tech capabilities with a key maritime ecosystem player to develop home-grown solutions to future-proof Singapore’s maritime energy mix.”
