M2H2 Series Methanol-to-Hydrogen Reformer
On-vessel hydrogen-on-demand reformer producing 99.97% hydrogen from methanol to feed PEM fuel cells; ordered for the Hydrogen One towboat.
Description
Using technology licensed from Element 1 (e1), RIX M2H2 Series systems produce hydrogen on demand from methanol, avoiding on-board high-pressure or cryogenic hydrogen storage. Combined with PEM fuel cells they deliver primary power. Maritime Partners ordered 10 systems for Hydrogen One, a methanol/hydrogen fuel cell-powered towboat (2022).
Key features
- 99.97% purity hydrogen
- Zero NOx, SOx or particulate matter
- A single reformer supports fuel cell solutions from 10 kW to 140 kW
- Units can be aggregated for MW applications
Applications
Ship propulsion, auxiliary power, reefer container power and cold ironing.
