Specific Challenge:Fuel cell technology is able to address powertrain electrification in the domains of marine propulsion. This market represents high potential for reducing energy consumption and emissions (especially for harbour boats and tugs), because the source of emissions is not as dispersed, i.e. significant energy/ emission savings can be achieved by replacing a single conventional powertrain on a large ship. However, despite all the potential benefits, existing fuel cell technology components face application specific challenges that need to be addressed in order to drive large scale adoption in the marine sector. Hence, in order to achieve competitiveness, additional research and demonstration efforts are required for such drive systems in order to become competitive with conventional technologies.
Scope:The aim of this topic is to develop an emissions-free fuel cell hybrid based powertrain system, suitable for marine applications, and to validate it in the target marine vessel.

Scope:The aim of this topic is to develop an emissions-free fuel cell hybrid based powertrain system, suitable for marine applications, and to validate it in the target marine vessel.
The project must address the following key issues:
Identify the components that have specific marine application requirements (e.g. lifetime and resistance to shock, vibration, corrosion, power range, SU/SD, etc.) in comparison to automotive or other vehicular applications Select amongst the identified components those with highest impact for the marine application in cost and performance Develop improved, industrialisation-ready system components (including but not limited to: fuel cell stack, compressor, humidifier, intercooler, valves, or turbine/expander, etc.) for high efficiency and low cost Balance-of-Plant (BoP), focused on the specific needs of the marine application Demonstrate significant improvement of the complete fuel cell based powertrain efficiency and stack lifetime due to integration of improved fuel cell components Validate the system performance on a powertrain test bench and in a target marine vessel for a period of minimum 6 months Investigate the CO2 performance (through Life Cycle Analysis techniques) of current marine powertrain solutions and demonstrate the specific emissions saving that can be achieved by replacing conventional technology TRL at start: 4
TRL at end: 7
The consortium should include at least one marine OEM or their subsidiaries and at least one fuel cell component manufacturer and/or relevant suppliers.
The FCH 2 JU considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of EUR 3 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Expected duration: 3-4 years
A maximum of 1 project may be funded under this topic.
Expected Impact:Expected impacts of the project include:
Fuel to electric efficiency > 42 % Freeze start capabilities from -35°C Operational ambient temperature -30°C to +45°C Powertrain system cost below 6000€/kW Fuel cell system of at least 75kW Fuel cell stack life of >15,000 hours Ability of the system to withstand the shocks, vibrations, saline environment and ship motions commonly encountered on water as well as other marine application relevant requirements. Taking into account the project achievements (e.g. costs and lifetime), clearly indicate the current state of return on investment for a prospective customer. Out of the business model analysis extract the technological leverages that still have to be considered for future projects. Formulation of initial go-to market strategy with support from stakeholders from the marine industry. Potential for future demonstration ‘innovation’ actions once the project is completed

Características del consorcio
:
La ayuda es de ámbito europeo, puede aplicar a esta linea cualquier empresa que forme parte de la Comunidad Europea.
Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante
