Auriga Enery has completed a CMDC 2 design study, with our partner developer of a novel electric motor, to define a fuel cell system and powertrain delivering up to 3MW to an offshore workboat. This design utilises multiples of the the company’s next generation fuel cell modules to deliver the power in a safe, reliable and high efficiency system. The proposed design and installation was reviewed for safety by Lloyd’s Register, culminating with LR granting our design an ‘Approval in Principle’.Auriga Energy Marine Fuel cell granted Approval in Principle -press release
