Zero-Emission Hydrogen-Powered Ship Delivered in Step Toward Cleaner Cargo

November 29, 2017 by Bloomberg

Hydroville is now the first passenger shuttle that has received a Class’ approval to burn diesel   and hydrogen  in its 2 combustion engines

International Commitment

Quote

“There’s a very strong commitment to decarbonize shipping from powerful countries such as China, Japan, and a group of European nations,” said Tristan Smith, a lecturer at University College London’s energy institute and a former naval architect. “Hydrogen is one of the most cost effective ways to do this. It’s proven, it works in the energy system and it’s easy to combust in ships.”

How do they make the hydrogen?  How much energy does it take to make it?

Agelbert NOTE: Resorting to fallacious debating techniques, like the one I just got sniped with when Engineer K-Dog "innocently" asked about how hydrogen is made, is fun if the person spewing the clever bullshit is only interested in attacking the messenger, not debating the message. K-Dog knows all the industrial techniques used to make hydrogen and cherry picks the most energy intensive forms, while totally excluding the ones that I HAVE DISCUSSED HERE OFTEN, WITH EVIDENCE AND DATA, just to make a "greater thermodynamic efficiency" case for fossil fuel CRAP. He is so repetitive and predictable as to be boring. K-Dog is smart and I share many views with him. But he is adamantly incorrigible in his insistance that Renewable Energy cannot replace fossil fuels OR prevent the collapse of human civilization. Perhaps he is right. But I don't think so.
