While some cities have mandated the switch to \u2018fossil-free\u2019 biodiesel, these vessels are still omitting harmful particles that cause numerous health issues to citizens. Despite a widespread push to reduce emissions, ferries have long been neglected in the drive to create cleaner, greener public transport in cities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The European Commission has set out its vision to establish 100 climate-neutral smart cities by 2030, but this cannot be achieved without investing in new emission-free waterborne transport solutions.

The time to act is now.<\/p>\n<h2>Green ferry technology<\/h2>\n<p>As a systems integrator, <b>Green City Ferries<\/b> (GCF) offers a holistic solution for cities. We bring together state-of-the-art zero-emission (ZE) fast passenger ferries and shoreside and hydrogen infrastructure. The company has unveiled the <b>Beluga24<\/b> \u2013 the world\u2019s first hydrogen high-speed catamaran ferry.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <b>Beluga24<\/b> comes with two emission-free options \u2013 electric for short journeys and hydrogen for long \u2013 and has been designed as a multi-purpose solution for public transportation with space for 150 passengers and 28 bikes. The high-speed ferries have low-wake signatures, a long range, and are<\/p>\n<p>extremely well-suited for usage on waterways in and around cities by enabling attractive timetables and comfortable commutes.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge with these vessels is their weight compared to a conventional diesel ferries. To mitigate this, the <b>Beluga24<\/b> uses a hydrofoil system and lightweight carbon fiber hulls. The lifting force created by the hydrofoil when the vessel is operating at cruise speed effectively reduces the displacement of the vessel, lifts the hull partly out of the water, and thereby reduces the resistance, alleviating the impact of the additional weight of the electrical propulsion system.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The solutions are here<\/h2>\n<p><b>GCF\u2019s first commercial application starts in 2023 <\/b>in the Stockholm archipelago with a high-speed hydrogen ferry taking on longer routes within the area, with support from the European Union funded project, TECOW. With many other cities already showing interest in the technology it won\u2019t be long before hydrogen ferries are taking mobility into cleaner waters across the EU and beyond.Except for the vessels itself and the infrastructure GCF also offers financing for authorities for an efficient transition.<\/p>\n<p>GCF stands ready to contribute to the 1.5\u00b0C target by introducing its zero-emission ferry on a global scale.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"color:#000000;\"><\/div><div class=\" awb-imageframe-style awb-imageframe-style-below awb-imageframe-style-2\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"914\" title=\"otherGCF\" src=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/otherGCF.jpeg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/otherGCF-200x143.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/otherGCF-400x286.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/otherGCF-600x428.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/otherGCF-800x571.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/otherGCF-1200x857.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/otherGCF.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-container\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption\"><h2 class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-title\">otherGCF<\/h2><p class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-text\">Beluga24 \u2013 the world\u2019s first hydrogen high-speed catamaran ferry.
