Solutions

Genevos develops and deploys fuel agnostic, high-efficiency fuel cell modules to power vessel propulsion and onboard energy systems.

XPM-100

Offshore - Deep Sea

The XPM-100, based on high-temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology with steel-supported ceramic cells, delivers ultra-high efficiency, exceptional durability and long service life for high-power, energy-intensive vessels. Scalable to the multi-MW range, it offers fuel flexibility—allowing operators to switch between LNG, bio-methane, methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia in line with their decarbonisation strategy.

FAQ

What is a marine fuel cell and how does it work?
arrow white

A marine fuel cell is a clean power system that converts hydrogen (or other fuels) into electricity to drive a vessel’s propulsion or onboard systems. Unlike conventional engines, fuel cells produce electricity silently, efficiently, and with zero emissions at the point of use.

What types of fuel cells does Genevos integrate?
arrow white

We integrate both PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) and SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells), each optimized for different marine applications:

  • PEM: Fast start-up, ideal for ferries, workboats, and hybrid systems.
  • SOFC: High efficiency and longer duration, perfect for large ships and continuous operations.

What are the main benefits of using fuel cells on ships?
arrow white
  • Zero emissions: No NOx, SOx, or particulate matter; only water vapor (for hydrogen).
  • Quiet operation: Low vibration, improving crew comfort and passenger experience.
  • High efficiency: Converts fuel to electricity efficiently, reducing fuel costs over time.
  • Flexible integration: Can be combined with batteries, hybrid systems, or renewable energy sources.
Can fuel cells be retrofitted on existing vessels?
arrow white
  • Yes. We specialize in both new builds and retrofits. Our engineers design custom integration solutions that fit the vessel’s size, propulsion system, and operational profile while minimizing downtime.
