Glosten, in collaboration with Siemens Energy, has chosen Ballard Power Systems and Chart Industries as primary equipment vendors for the world’s first hydrogen-hybrid research vessel, the CCRV. The vessel, currently in the design phase, will be owned and operated by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps). Its primary goal is to pioneer a hydrogen-fuel-cell propulsion system, marking a shift towards sustainable and zero-emission marine research. Ballard Power systems will provide the fuel cells, Chart Industries will supply the cryogenic tank and fuel gas system, essential components for bunkering and conditioning liquid hydrogen fuel. Glosten’s choice of these vendors is rooted in their expertise in hydrogen technologies.
