Renewable Hydrogen² for Inland Waterway Emission Reduction
What we do
Our main focus
To create a solid basis for the acceleration of hydrogen fuel cell powered inland vessels. Create a basis on which the shipping industry can significantly reduce their environmental footprint and remove emissions from their entire fleet in the future.
How do we achieve this
By demonstrating six commercially operated vessels. These vessels are of varying lengths and types ranging from 86 meters till 135 meters; container, bulk and tanker vessels. Working with standardisation of containerised fuel cell and hydrogen solutions.
The impact
The vessels within RH2IWER are representative of typical dry and liquid cargo vessels in the Rhine and Danube fleets, amounting to roughly 80% of the inland waterway fleet. Lessons learned could be applied more or less directly to these vessels, which would lead to a immediate reduction of the Green House Gasses to ZERO

numerous vessels in Europe, which would immediately reduce GHG emissions drastically.
