Problem
The maritime industry faces increasing pressure to decarbonize operations and reduce emissions to meet stringent environmental regulations. Traditional power systems on ships rely on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in coastal areas. The need for high efficiency and fuel flexibility in deep-sea shipping further complicates the transition to cleaner energy sources.
Solution
Alma provides solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems designed for clean power generation in the ocean industries. Their technology converts a variety of fuels, including ammonia, LNG, hydrogen, methanol, syngas, and liquid organic hydrogen carriers, into electricity with high efficiency. This fuel flexibility enables zero-emission operation, independent of the fuel type used. Alma's SOFC solutions offer a pathway for maritime operators to decarbonize their operations and achieve net-zero emissions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes maritime operators, shipping companies, and other stakeholders in the ocean industries seeking to reduce emissions and transition to cleaner power solutions.
