Abstract

The International Maritime Organization(IMO) recommends the active implementation of national policies on technological development and energy efficiency to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) in the international shipping sector. Such IMO environmental regulation policies have a great impact on the entire shipping sector and are also a heavy burden on ship's owners. The most reasonable way to curb GHG emissions from ships comes down to the development of zero-emission ships. In other words, the development of a fuel cell ship (FCS) driven by an eco-friendly fuel is an alternative that can escape the IMO regulations. Countries in Asia, Northern America, and Europe independently develop and produce PEMFC, and are pursuing international standardization by acquiring approval in principle from an internationally accredited registration authority. Currently, there are three types of fuel cells (FC) that are recommended for ships: a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC), and a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). In this study, PEMFC, which is expected to grow continuously in the global FC market, was analyzed domestic and international development trends, specifications, performance, and empirical cases applied to ships. In addition, when applying PEMFC to ships, it was intended to suggest matters to be considered and the development direction.

국제해사기구(IMO)는 국제해운 분야의 온실가스(Green House Gas, GHG) 감축을 위하여 각국의 기술 개발 및 에너지 효율성 제고에 관한 정책 시행을 적극적으로 권장하고 있다. 이러한 IMO의 환경규제와 관련된 정책들은 해운 분야 전반에 큰 영향을 미치고 있으며, 선주들에게도 막대한 부담으로 작용하고 있다. 선박에서 발생하는 GHG 배출을 억제하기 위한 가장 합리적인 방안은 탄소제로배출(Zero Emission) 선박의 개발로 귀결된다. 즉 친환경 연료로 추진하는 연료전지선박(Fuel Cell Ship, FCS)의 개발이 IMO의 규제를 벗어날 수 있는 대안인 것이다. 아시아, 북미, 유럽 등의 각국에서는 독자적으로 PEMFC를 개발 및 생산하여 국제공인등록 기관으로부터 형식승인인증을 획득함으로써 국제표준화의 선점을 추구하고 있다. 현재 다양한 연료전지(Fuel Cell, FC) 중에서 선박용으로 권장하는 것은 크게 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC), 용융 탄산염 연료전지(MCFC) 및 고체산화물형 연료전지(SOFC) 등의 세종류가 있다. 본 연구에서는 글로벌 FC 시장에서 지속적인 성장이 예상되는 PEMFC를 대상으로 하여 국내외 개발 동향, 제조업체별 규격, 성능 및 선박에 적용한 실증적 사례를 분석하였다. 그리고 PEMFC를 선박에 적용할 경우, 고려해야 할 사항과 개발 방향에 관하여 제안하고자 하였다.
