چکیده مقاله

In the maritime industry, the use of solid hydrogen carriers, such as sodium boron hydride in combination with fuel cells, has received much attention due to their distances to fuel stations, as well as the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. The use of hydrogen in gaseous or liquid form is problematic in terms of the safety and operational characteristics of a ship. The storage of hydrogen by chemical bonds in substances such as sodium borohydride, lithyumaluminium hydride and metal hydrides have the potential to overcome or reduce these problems. However, little is known about the implementation of a sodium borohydride system on board. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has a great potential to act as an energy source due to its high efficiency and ability to manage different types of fuel. SOFCs have never been used as the primary energy source for marine applications. In this paper a short literature survey has been take placed. The possibility of using SOFCs as the main power supply on ships has been done.
