Feasibility assessment of a container ship applying ammonia cracker-integrated solid oxide fuel cell technology

The maritime industry has entered its pathway of decarbonization. To achieve the IMO's ambitious goals of an absolute emissions reduction of 50% by 2050, and a 70% carbon intensity reduction by 2050 compared to the 2008 level, various options for the adoption of technologies and alternative fue...
