As an energy consultant I would like to say that is one of the best explainers on the various credentials of different hydrogen production techniques I have heard. For reference the terms generally used in the industry are: Grey Hydrogen - produced by steam methane reformation which has carbon monoxide as a byproduct; Blue Hydrogen - also produced by steam methane reformation but with the carbon monoxide captured and sequestered; Green Hydrogen - produced by electrolysis of water using renewable electricity usually wind power or solar PV. The idea being that when wind turbines or solar panels are producing more electricity than is required by the grid they can use the surplus to generate hydrogen.

[@pauldroop]

As an economist I would like to say this all nice on piece of paper, but the actual costs of using this technology to produce electricity would only occur if the industry was forced to; via law, tax or sibsidy. And if this occurred, electricity would become even more unaffordable than "renewable" technologies already have

It is good that the people who has enough disposable money to create these kind of vessels do so. Not for the bling factor but for pushing the technology to the edge. Building a comercial vessel is always tied to comercial limits and demands, this is limiting the technology in ways that can be ignored in this kind of projects. By this it can use materials and technology that does not make financial sence today, but maybe in the not so distance future. That the fuel is not ready available falls under the same parameters, it is not the end of the world if it should be stuck somewhere a limited time for that reason. It can leave the next day, or the day after or in a week. I congratulate to the effort, if it works as planned so mutch better!

I see the benefit here as a technology demonstrator that move the industry toward less harmful fuels, though I also several obvious ways in which it could have been greener: 1. The hull could be painted green instead of black. 2. Make it a sail boat to minimize use of the large motors (make them a backup instead of primary propulsion system). 3. Add solar cells, lots of solar cells, again reducing usage of the fuel cells.

2:48 “With only pure water coming out of the exhaust” - whoa whoa whoa … hold on there Charley. Methanol is made from methane. Methane is a carbon fuel. The carbon molecule must go somewhere in the chain of converting methanol to hydrogen to electric power. That somewhere is CO2. By using methanol, you do reduce CO2 emissions but only by about 7%. The other nasty stuff (NOX etc) is avoided though, so that is a net improvement. Until the hydrogen is produced from water, CO2 will be emitted.

[@rp1645]

Another comment to you that I think you will find is along the same lines as this video. 😊 A coworker had an old used Volvo diesel engine car. He was so proud to talk about him getting old used vegetable olds from waste at say the restaurant, any old by product of used fuels that he could run in his piece of junk of a car, that it's poor Diesel engine was basically telling him, "Help" you are killing me. I would watch him try and start her up. The engine would just be struggling To even START. But he pounded his chest look at me, I'm saving the planet. The poor engine would just smoke ( Pollution) And just struggle to drive off from the employees parking lot. Another thing I thought you would find interesting was these bow hard coworkers never cared a hoot about the equipment we bought from say Cat or John Deere or Case. Then one day a former Seahawks football player shows up at our shop. He got into selling heavy equipment at a bar, by a salesman who said he could sell Cat equipment after he retired from football fame. The biggest bully in our workplace who never ever even checked the "OIL" on the backhoes. Just as perplexed at me, him saying do you know who he is. I told this coworker who was hired just to spy on all us coworkers to see if we were bad mouth The Director. In the downturn of 2008, there were LAY offs in the workplace. The Director got rid of everyone that my bullying coworker turned into Director I know my words are just bitching about workplace, but I thought you would find funny about running a poor old tired Volvo Diesel on vegetable used waste OILs, and what a former football star will do in a workplace selling Cat heavy equipment. To end this rant on. We only bought ONE Cat Backhoe, the big priced equipment like are front end loader is a JD 😊 and parks department bought a lot of Kabota Farm 3 point hitch types. Plus some N.H. For me personally in my Retirement I bought a tryed and true beast of a 19000 Pounder Dynahoe-190 (1978) why you say. It goes back to my Union hall dispatch out to sewer mainline digging day. In 1979 I ran a new Dynahoe. They were very stout. I started running Backhoe on my dad's lap with the 580CK case machines. I ran every model of 580 series case equipment. But I saw how better and stronger a Dynahoe backhoe was built. Believe it or not. Back then a NEW Dynahoe was $90 thousand dollars. The case with extended hoe attachment could only dig down around 17 feet. The standard 190 Dynahoe with no extendahoe set up. If you put a (Bull nose) Basically a jackhammer on the hoe instead of a digging bucket. The Dynahoe would not come all loss so to speak. I even d Saw a local big time contractor working on a freeway job, have a Dynahoe on site in 2018, Bucyrus Erie "QUIT" making Dynahoe in the mid 1980s when BE stopped there construction line, and just focused on large mining equipment. As history shows after 100 years of building the most well built, bear for stout machine Cat approached BE in late 2011 if memory serves me, BE won a all BE mining equipment in a very long run deep mine in India. The Shareholders of BE said "OK" we will sell off to Cat after like I said 190s of years. BE built the Panama Canal, Even though Marion built the space shuttle track machine, it was really BE engineering that did all the work on that huge carrier. That why I bought and ❤ Bucyrus Erie equipment 😊 so much for my rambling my friend 😊

[@HTHAMMACK1]

Do you think the electric car someone drives is free of any pollution? Think about the lithium mining that has to take place to create the batter, then all of the emissions that take place to ship the parts and the car to their eventual destinations. We are decades if not centuries from being able to produce something that is completely free of any pollution. The goal right now should just be to lower the emissions.

Probably the largest contribution vessels like this are making is the further development of cleaner energy at sea as a technology. I fully expect this vessel in particular to be nowhere near as green as they claim *if* you actually care about the environment and not about all the technicalities they'll use to promote it. I also expect the total pollution for even building the thing when you factor in all of the materials that had to be created for it too to be pretty huge and likely more than it will ever save or offset in it's lifetime. *However* that doesn't mean I don't think the industry should bother with trying to make them more green. It obviously should since superyatchs are going to continue to exist and continue to be built then we may as well reduce their impact as much as possible and every bit helps. We're not there yet when it comes to *truly* green power at sea, but laying the foundation for one day when we might be is still important. It's likely the motor yatching industry will be among the last to go 'fully green' since it depends on so many other things to do so first, even for Hydrogen power you need the energy put into producing it to be fully green before it even remotely makes an impact- the energy requirements for *making* hydrogen in a green way are pretty enormous...and the cost effective less energy intense way is actually quite polluting...I'm glad money and effort is being put into making it green-er but I *do* get the very strong sense that an awful lot of that effort is specifically targeted at deliberate 'greenwashing' to make them seem more acceptable, and I do find that very unfortunate

[@humbleguy9908]

I doubt that they use "Compressed liquid hydrogen". At -253°C, Hydrogen is a liquid that needs no compression. To prevent buildup of pressure you have to constantly cool it or use the evaporating gas for power production. I guess that the power consumption of the yacht is such that the cooling option is not needed very often.

[@asumazilla]

It's good to have a lot of detectors for hydrogen / hydrocarbons. H2 leaks very easily and will accumulate in the ceiling. Non spark lighting is available.

[@wmellor87]

Bloody Hell!

[@Stetsonhatman]

Hydrogen was used by our chemists to scavenge free O2 in the engine plant water system so we had a hydrogen locker aboard ship back in the 80s but there were no installed monitors. The containers would leak Hydrogen displacing air (oxygen) inside the locker. We lost 5 guys because they would not follow proper time consuming air quality testing procedures before entering the locker and they died of asphyxiation.

[@asumazilla]

@Stetsonhatman That's sad to hear. Possibly oxygen sensors needed too then. For small quantity of H2 the safest way is to have a H2 generator from electricity, or possibly a safer getter.

Nice to see that someone is taking the leap and mayhaps lead the way forward. There is a Nickel and Copper plant where I live, GCE Node, that have produced clean-er hydrogen since 1960s. They use it in the production and a currently tasked if they can make liquid hydrogen out of the excess hydrogen that they don't use for their own production. The plant produce via electrolysis, 2 tons of hydrogen each day. As an added bonus, the excess Oxygen being produced in the process, is shipped over to a nearby plant who needs a lot of O2 in their production. With more plants like that, building a network of liquid hydrogen tank stations should be foreseeable within near future. And as you mentioned. There will always be a demand for super yachts, and as long as the demand is there, and the money to buy them. There will be builders who deliver. So why not build as ecofriendly as possible, even though.. Yes, the most environmental action is not to buy/build a yacht in the first place.

[@chris7jakarta]

@8:40 "but hydrogen can be made WITHOUT fossil fuels..." if it needs energy somewhere in the process to produce, there is fossil fuel involved. same with solar panels and batteries, the end product very green, but the process of getting the materials and recycle the products later, not so green at all.

When I think GREEN, I think SAIL, not motor. I don't know how correct and true this is, but, it would be nice to see some comparisons between a true SY (not motor assisted sail) designed/built to be as "green" as possible vs. a comparable MY built to similar "green" standard. On smaller Sailing vessels, it's quite possible to go entirely off-grid with energy capture from solar, wind, and hydro turning props while under sail to generate added electricity. I don't know how well that scales up on 50m+ Sailing Yachts. In comparison between sail vs. motor, my personal bias is, of course on the side of sail, but, that's me. If we had a "shootout" of several "green" SY vs similar MY to get a good data set, that would be the most telling with many vessels to compare to same number on other side. Change my mind. :)

[@patrickmurray2505]

In the video, he cites the YETI statistic that 70% or more of the energy load in a superyacht is for the hotel, mostly AC and heating. A sail doesn't cool the interior, so that 70% figure is still going to be there. Also any yacht over 50m is going to be so bespoke in how it's built that it would be really difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from a dataset, even if you were able to take a census. There's only about a thousand or so in the world and each is made custom to how the owner wants it. Even identically hulled sister ships will have totally different interiors.

A sail doesn't necessarily cool the ship, but, there's developing technology where the sail is also flexible solar panels, plus, as mentioned, screws could generate hydro power while underway as opposed to eating power just to move. How much energy capture is feasible and practical on a sailing "superyacht" vs. a motor "superyacht"? It's a valid question.

What's floating right now that could be data sourced and compared to something similar for a single metric? There might not be several comparable vessels, but, there might be several vessels with comparable systems that can be weighed against each other system to system? It's not an impossible thing to spreadsheet similar systems, and their impact on their respective yachts, unless you want to neg without any constructive input, meh. whatever.

I need this😁

[@TheRuffusMD]

i like the intros

[@NackDSP]

Albatross is the likely name for this ship.

[@wickedcabinboy]

Nailed it!

[@grondhero]

If it gets sold, the new owner will likely change it.

[@thefrener794]

How long until they are just ships?

[@josephc.1776]

Price. Based on specs, builder and fuel aspect I would assume $400,000,000+.

This vessel will likely switch from methanol to ammonia for generating hydrogen. Commercial shipping is going to drive the transformation, and infrastructure for ammonia will be going in soon. The beauty of fuel cells is that they're extremely efficient and many products can be reformed to generate hydrogen. Natural gas is currently one of the best sources, but it's also difficult to store.

[@sickjohnson]

According to the USA department of Energy hydrogen fuel cells are only 40-60% efficiency...sounds very extreme...no? Not to mention the rareness and expense of making Hydrogen, and by expense, specifically it demands a lot of fuel to make power to produce said Hydrogen...no? You are likely right about the ammonia except it is a passenger ship and well ammonia is not very safe...like most gases can leak...and some can also explode or make a kind of mustard gas? Imagine their insurance rates are insane for just Hydrogen? Odds are it will be burning diesel 99% of the time...and that is by far the most efficient because of energy density?

[@EDesigns_FL]

@@sickjohnson It's evident that you did a quick search without reading the Department of Energy's paper. If you had, you would have discovered that the DOE determined that fuel cells are 2 to 3 times more efficient then internal combustion engines. That is a staggering increase in efficiency. Hydrogen is the most abundant element. There is nothing rare about it. Further, there are now discoveries of natural hydrogen that can be tapped and other feed stocks can be easily and very efficiently reformed to generate hydrogen. Please, do a little reading on this subject because you will be astonished with what's going on in this field. There is a enormous reservoir of marine gas hydrates waiting to be exploited that can be a huge source for hydrogen. I have some concerns with ammonia also, but that appears to be the direction that the industry is heading. Ships are already being built that will run on ammonia and the infrastructure to support them is proceeding. Fuel cells have been around for more than 60 years and have proven themselves to be extremely safe, efficient, and reliable. There only real downside is their costs. In my opinion, Feadship is the best yacht builder and, because of their impeccable reputation, insurance for their vessels tends to be less expensive than their competitors.

[@Primalxbeast]

My ex was an engineer at NASA. They only did ammonia transfers at night when there weren't many people working, and he had to work on the nights that they were doing the transfers. The precautions NASA takes when dealing with ammonia gives me the impression that it isn't very safe.

5 years in the making , pretty fast , how long to get there ?

[@Jorr235]

Incredible

[@maryholder3795]

Woo, that is a amazing yacht. She is an eco ship, shame that so far the hydrogen drive is for Hotel load but it's better than nothing and a step forwards for more eco friendly yacht. Thanks for that interesting news, now you're just going to find out who brought her.😊
