Development of a 100% hydrogen-powered engine for marine propulsion (H2MOTORSEA)

Project description

Hydrogen has become one of the main players in the decarbonisation strategies being taken forward around the world to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and, as a result, to curb global warming. With more than 50 years of experience in the design, development and manufacture of internal combustion engines for power generation, Guascor Energy is no stranger to the energy revolution sweeping the globe, and is working to adapt its products and solutions to the new challenges ahead.

With this in mind, Guascor Energy has started to work on a specific development project for combustion engines which, powered exclusively by hydrogen, provide the best performance in terms of both power and performance, while complying with all safety standards.

This highly challenging and technologically advanced project has been awarded state aid within the Spanish PERTE (Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation) call "Incentive programme for knowledge on green hydrogen and the innovation value chain".

The main objective of the project is to provide a decarbonised solution to replace conventional internal combustion engines in power generation applications, both electrical for industrial applications and propulsion for marine applications, thus meeting the greenhouse gas emission reduction target set at the COP21.
