He hopes that certification and insurance issues preventing such
fuel-cell technology from taking off in larger boats will be overcome through
demonstrating Hydrogenesis.

‘We’re building this as a 12 seater in order to enable the MCA [Maritime Coastal
Agency] to use this as a point of reference to write the regulations for bigger
boats,’ said Singh. ‘Anything above a 12 seater and there are these horrendous
regulations.’
Shipping accounts for two per cent of Britain’s carbon emissions, according to
the Committee on Climate Change.
‘Eventually, maybe in 50 years time, I can see the worldwide massive ship
systems being fuelled and run by hydrogen fuel-cell systems,’ said Singh. ‘The
whole world is using diesel. In 50 years’ time, Africa will have industrialised
and diesel will become very scarce.’
Singh revealed he has been discussing plans for larger boats with operators over
the past few months. He expects they will come to fruition within the next three
to four years.
