JPNH₂YDRO, a joint venture between CMB.Tech, Tsuneishi and Kambara Kisen, has officially inaugurated its new hydrogen engine R&D centre.
This innovative centre is a pioneering hydrogen test site in Japan, designed to advance hydrogen engine development. Equipped with an engine test bench featuring precise measurement tools and a hydrogen station capable of supplying hydrogen to ships, the centre’s focus is on bringing hydrogen engines to the market for ships and land-based heavy-duty applications. Once fully developed, the engines will, amongst other applications, be implemented in vessels built by the Tsuneishi Group.
The launch of this R&D Centre is said to mark a significant step forward in Japan’s hydrogen engine development. It will also be a key hub for the homologation and approval of hydrogen dual-fuel engines for the Japanese market, reinforcing JPNH₂YDRO’s position in the push toward cleaner energy solutions.
