Discover Massimo Perotti's FUEL CELL SUPERYACHT by Sanlorenzo

In an industry exclusive, SuperYacht Times has visited to the Sanlorenzo shipyard to sit down with CEO Massimo Perotti to discover more about his fuel cell powered superyacht, the 50Steel, which is due for launch later this year.
Taking on the challenge of reducing the carbon emissions of the superyacht sector, Sanlorenzo has partnered with top players in the renewable and e-fuel sectors, Siemens Energy. Siemens Energy has developed a unique fuel cell solution for the 50Steel, while Lloyds Register has worked alongside the shipyard and its partners to ensure that the vessel's methanol fuel cell installation aligns with industry regulations.
Justin Ratcliffe is given full access to the superyacht, currently in-build, with a tour of its engine room and fuel cell chamber, and demonstrates how this game-changing technology has been developed by the Italian builder over the past three years.

What an innovation! Can't wait to see more, really! It is a big step to yachting innovation.

[@superyachttimes]

Yes!

This is a REALLY big deal. I've been researching this on a lay level for many years, and there is not a shred of doubt in my mind that fuel cell technology (supporting battery/electric) is BY FAR the best option for yacht propulsion and power. Not only are fuel cells extraordinarily efficient at converting fuel to energy, not only is methanol production from natural gas one of the cleanest forms of fossil fuels, but the technology exists in the R&D pilot progam phase to generate methanol from water and atmospheric CO2 using renewable power. If a yacht owner were to invest in one of these pilot plants to a degree sufficient to produce 'more' methanol than they consume with their yacht, they could legitimately claim that their 'system' is net zero!

Sounds so confusing engineering method
