Russia will test a hydrogen-powered vessel for the first time. The vessel is the Ekobalt, developed by the Krylov State Research Centre (KSRC) in conjunction with the Ak Bars shipbuilding holding. This was announced by Oleg Savchenko, General Director of the KSRC.
The tests are scheduled for October this year.
The Ekobalt is a 12-person pleasure boat with an electrochemical generator. It will be the first vessel in the Russian Federation with the first domestic electrochemical generator powered by hydrogen fuel. It is fully import-substituted.
According to Renat Mistakhov, General Director of the Ak Bars shipbuilding holding, the Ekobalt prototype is a platform for testing the technology and for developing a universal functional module for a fuel cell power plant.
He also noted that the advantages of such power plants compared to traditional diesel engines include lower noise and vibration levels, efficient fuel use and high efficiency.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the exact characteristics of Russia's first hydrogen-powered vessel have been published.
