1MW Demonstrator

The project aims to accelerate the shift to clean marine shipping by demonstrating a physical model of a clean propulsion system, that can be used by ship builders, operators and legislators to help drive meaningful progress towards emission free shipping in the future. The Maritime sector requires clean propulsion demonstrators to build trust that clean propulsion is possible.

“A megawatt is a huge amount of power but it only a stepping stone to bigger systems that ships require” said Ecomar CEO and Founder Eugene Bari. “We are confident that we can build this larger demonstrator within the next 10 months. It’s going to be a game changer for the industry.” The demonstrator will be built in Ecomar Propulsions Hampshire research facility and includes a number of radical designs, but the company are keen to stress that all the technologies are already proven. It is a truly ground-breaking combination joining a whole host of independent innovations into one reliable full propulsion system.

The project team will use the design of our newbuild that uses this electric and hydrogen hybrid system with adaptability to also use methanol, ammonia or other alternative fuels with minimal disruption in refit. This project includes all naval architecture, propulsion and operator inputs. It is powered by clean energy with a 10 day range and a 1MW po
