However, Aqua’s setup will be fully powered by liquid hydrogen whereas Lürssen’s plant converts methanol into hydrogen. Methanol is much easier to handle and store than liquid hydrogen and can still carry a lot of hydrogen within its chemical composition. The yard is expected to start testing the methanol-hydrogen power plant this spring. The test plant (pictured above) will produce roughly 120kW of energy and will be used to power one of Lürssen’s production sheds. The first vessel to feature the technology will reportedly be delivered in 2025. We’re certainly glad this superyacht’s out of the bag.
