布鲁姆能源公司（Bloom Energy）透露，布鲁姆燃料电池系统实现了首次船上部署，并且展现了更高的发电效率。地中海邮轮旗下的“欧罗巴（Europa）”号豪华邮轮搭载了布鲁姆150千瓦的固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC），它通过使用液化天然气（LNG）为该邮轮在靠泊期间提供辅助动力。在世界杯期间，这艘世界级邮轮曾靠泊卡塔尔的多哈邮轮港。布鲁姆能源公司表示，布鲁姆燃料电池在船舶停泊期间的发电效率为60%，与现有的其他电力系统相比有了显著的提高。同时，还能减少30%的碳排放，并且没有甲烷泄漏。此外，这一燃料电池系统不仅在“欧罗巴”号靠泊期间表现优异，在其从法国圣纳泽尔到卡塔尔的首航过程中，也实现了全功率输出。

        Bloom Energy has revealed that, in the first major marine deployment, its fuel cells demonstrated a significant increase in electrical efficiency. The 150kW solid oxide fuel cell platform provided auxiliary power to the luxury cruise ship called MSC World Europa while in port using liquefied natural gas (LNG). The ship was docked in Qatar in November and December for the 2022 World Cup. Bloom Energy said that the Bloom Energy Server™ demonstrated 60% electrical efficiency while the ship was in port, a significant improvement over existing high-efficiency power systems, as well as a reduction of carbon emissions by 30% with no methane slippage. While the MSC installation was geared towards proving the efficacy of Bloom system’s in-port operations, the fuel cells also achieved full power output during the vessel’s maiden voyage between Saint-Nazaire, France, and Qatar while in the Mediterranean Sea.

solid oxide fuel cell 固体氧化物燃料电池

Tips：固体氧化物燃料电池（Solid Oxide Fuel Cell，简称SOFC）属于第三代燃料电池，是一种在中高温下直接将储存在燃料和氧化剂中的化学能高效、环境友好地转化成电能的全固态化学发电装置。它是几种燃料电池中理论能量密度最高的一种，被普遍认为是在未来会得到广泛普及应用的一种燃料电池。
