The MiNaMi project, coordinated by the Finnish research center VTT, is developing the first European PEM fuel cell system in the megawatt range for shipping. The system aims for a lifespan exceeding 80,000 hours and operation over a million nautical miles.

Future applications are planned for rail, stationary energy supply, and heavy machinery. The consortium includes Powercell Sweden, DFDS, Vaisala, ABB Marine & Ports, and several European research institutes, with German company Allengra contributing expertise in hydrogen flow measurement sensors crucial for system efficiency and safety.
