HYDROGEN INNOVATIONS

Zero emission plug & play Hydrogen Power Modules for vessels

MAKING HYDROGEN ACCESSIBLE TO MARINE

OceansLab cleantech spin-off company Genevos has developed an advanced fuel cell and renewable hydrogen system that is highly scalable to accelerate uptake of fuel cells and zero-carbon fuel solutions

Genevos HPM-15 Marine Fuel Cell

AWARD WINNING SOLUTION

The HPM has been attributed the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” Label as part of the first 1000 solutions to change the world, and has been awarded the Sud-Ouest / Region Nouvelle Aquitaine Maritime Innovation Trophy
