After months of preparation, Blue World Technologies is proud to speak the winning checking out of the field’s first 200 kW excessive-temperature PEM gasoline cell module. The test became completed on the newly established test facilities in connection to the Blue Aalborg Manufacturing facility, the establish the gasoline cells for the system are produced. The preliminary checking out has been completed with immense outcomes, which has exceeded efficiency expectations
With an electrical efficiency of as a lot as 55% when reaching a commercial stage, the gasoline cell system will on occasion provide a gasoline saving of 20-30% which permits a tag-atmosphere friendly use of inexperienced fuels. Additionally, the gasoline cell system enables for as a lot as 100% carbon capture for both utilisation in inexperienced gasoline production and storage.

“Right here’s a critical breakthrough inner maritime decarbonisation, and with the test of our 200-kW system, we are proving that the HT PEM gasoline cell skills has the prospective to be regarded as one of the important thing technologies for decarbonising the laborious-to-abate sectors. Valid by the test duration, we efficiently validated our system setup with the methanol gasoline processor, the series connection of the gasoline cell stacks, apart from the stability of plant parts surrounding the gasoline cells”, Dennis Naldal Jensen, Chief Expertise Officer at Blue World Technologies, explains.
The first pilot system is a 1 MW system for onboard energy production. The system shall be installed on regarded as one of A.P. Moller – Maersk’s rotund twin gasoline-enabled methanol vessels and the installation on board is anticipated within the heart of H1 2026.
“Having labored with gasoline cell skills for bigger than two decades, it is a long way unbelievable for us to reach this stage of the skills pattern, the establish we, with these rotund systems, can provide a gallant more than just a few to an change that is closely dependent on fossil-based entirely mostly technologies”, says Anders Korsgaard, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Blue World Technologies and continues: “Maersk is the world frontrunner in the case of maritime decarbonisation, and we are very satisfied with the collaboration on the first 1 MW pilot and we are very basic taking a search forward to getting the system out crusing”.
The mumble for the pilot system became adopted by a endeavor investment by Maersk Voice – the endeavor arm of A.P. Moller – Maersk – the establish they, on the pause of 2023, participated in an 11 million EUR pre-C-round alongside The Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO), Cycle Group, and other novel and existing shareholders. With the immense potential of the HT PEM gasoline cell skills, they are closely following the design and checking out of the system.

As an investor in Blue World Technologies, we are satisfied to articulate the progress of the system pattern, and we share the team’s excitement for the winning checking out of the 200-kW gasoline cell system. The maritime change wants more than one novel technologies and pathways to reach its procure-zero targets, and excessive-temperature PEM gasoline cell skills is terribly promising in discovering a stability between excessive electrical efficiency, size, and load adjustment. Right here’s a immense example of how we can enhance innovation by both investment and partnership”, explains Alex Smout, Investment Director at Maersk Voice.
Blue World will before all the pieces provide systems for auxiliary energy and expects that its maritime system will reach a commercial stage in 2027. In the end, the firm will proceed to originate multi-megawatt propulsion systems for world shipping, which is the establish the gasoline cell skills will provide the most enthralling affect on both the atmosphere and native climate.
