Together, it takes eight to ten times more space to store hydrogen than the energy equivalent in diesel fuel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310493/image/large-c5c672622c4ef9da478ddfa5b83a6e70.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310493">In total, the cryogenic fuel tank onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8907" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship 821118.8m (389'9&quot;)Feadship2024">Feadship 821</a> is capable of holding 92 square-metres of hydrogen. Paired with their switchboard connection to the DC electrical grid, and the vent stacks for the escaping water vapour, this added an additional four-metres to the yacht’s original specifications.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310511/image/large-b0e5320ca135042f5d29eb260a8e9a32.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310511">Importantly, the fuel cells developed for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8907" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship 821118.8m (389'9&quot;)Feadship2024">Project 821</a> can also use easier-to-store methanol, a liquid fuel in ambient conditions. Steam reforms methanol into hydrogen before the electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell."We have now shown that cryogenic storage of liquified hydrogen in the interior of a superyacht is a viable solution. Future innovations on fuel cells and onboard reforming of methanol to hydrogen are on the near horizon,” added &nbsp;Jan-Bart Verkuyl.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310502/image/large-9823c6953ee01488b6c998c778fa97cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310502">“For <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>, the bottom line is that the decarbonisation of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>'s upstream process, such as our extensive use of aluminium produced in a more environmentally sensitive way and the production of net-zero carbon-free fuels or hydrogen carriers deserves utmost priority."According to the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI), 70-78 percent of a yacht's total energy use per year is to supply its hotel load, with heating and air conditioning making the largest demands. Although Project 821 cannot carry enough liquid hydrogen to power a crossing, it can generate enough electricity to serve her hotel load.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310497/image/large-a70bb9735da9eb1288b389d185e448e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310497">For longer travels or when pure hydrogen is not available, the electricity powering the 3,200 kW ABB pod drives comes from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> generators combusting HVO (Hydro-treated vegetable oil).
