Hydrogen as a marine fuel is experiencing significant attention as a means of addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and airborne pollution in marine and port environments. Hydrogen, when produced using renewable sources of electricity is a net-zero fuel source. The technology to exploit hydrogen as a fuel, through the use of fuel cells, exists and there are a growing number of vessels entering service and in development that are utilising them. There remain, however significant barrier to the widespread adoption of hydrogen powered vessels. One of these is the availability of the fuel and refuelling infrastructure. Such infrastructure, when land based, requires significant investment in facilities, use up valuable port real-estate and the ability to rapidly develop such facilities is hindered by the required planning and approval processes.It is proposed that a floating hydrogen production and storage barge would provide a quick and cost-effective way to provide in-port hydrogen without the requirement for significant shoreside infrastructure or the large-scale transport of hydrogen. This innovation would lower the barriers to adoption of green hydrogen as a Marine Fuel and encourage vessel owners, operators and designers to utilise hydrogen in their vessels.

氢作为一种船用燃料，作为解决海洋和港口环境中温室气体（GHG）排放和空气污染的一种手段，正在受到广泛关注。氢，当使用可再生电力来源生产时，是一种净零燃料来源。通过使用燃料电池来利用氢作为燃料的技术已经存在，并且越来越多的船舶正在使用它们。然而，氢动力船舶的广泛采用仍然存在重大障碍。其中之一是燃料和加油基础设施的可用性。此类基础设施在陆上时需要大量的设施投资，耗尽宝贵的港口不动产，而快速开发此类设施的能力受到所需规划和审批程序的阻碍。建议采用浮式氢气生产和储存驳船，以提供一种快速且具有成本效益的方式来提供港内氢气，而不需要大量的岸边基础设施或大型-氢的规模运输。这一创新将降低采用绿色氢作为船用燃料的障碍，并鼓励船东、运营商和设计师在其船舶中使用氢。
