Future Proof Shipping has launched H2 Barge 2, a hydrogen-powered vessel designed for zero-emission transport along the Rhine, capable of carrying 190 twenty-foot containers and projected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 3,000 tonnes annually. This initiative aligns with the global shipping industry's shift towards hydrogen as a cleaner energy source, which could represent 19% of maritime energy by 2050. The ongoing development of hydrogen-powered vessels worldwide highlights the growing adoption of this technology, despite current high costs.
