JPNH₂YDRO opens Hydrogen Engine R&D Centre in Japan
JPNH₂YDRO, a joint venture between CMB.TECH, TSUNEISHI Facilities & Craft and Kambara Kisen, held an official ceremony on 4 September 2024 to inaugurate the 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, these engines will, amongst other applications, be implemented in vessels built by the Tsuneishi Group.
The launch of this R&D Centre marks 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 solution.
