Norwegian company ‘Norled’ has successfully launched the world’s first ferry that runs on liquid hydrogen.
The vessel, called “MF Hydra”, is a hybrid that uses both batteries and liquid hydrogen fuel cells.
It underwent sea trials for two weeks after initial testing at Hjelmeland quay earlier this year.
The Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) has given final approval for the ferry to operate.
This milestone achievement is a significant step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime industry, as hydrogen fuel cells produce only clean water as a byproduct.
