Sea Change: The First H2-Powered Ferry and Switch Maritime’s Journey to Launch more in NYC

  • サマリー

  • In this episode of OneDER Cast, the team dives into the story of Switch Maritime, a company that builds and leases zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-powered maritime vessels. The podcast features Pace Ralli, CEO and co-founder, who shares the exciting journey of launching the first zero-emission ferry in San Francisco. He discusses how his background in energy efficiency, fundraising and his passion for clean technology led to the idea of decarbonizing the maritime industry, specifically to address the pollution caused by small, smoke-spewing ferries he would see on the East River in New York City.

    Pace tells us about the many challenges they faced, including funding, navigating regulations with the U.S. Coast Guard, and securing hydrogen supply chains. Despite the struggles, they have successfully launched their ferry in San Francisco, proving that hydrogen fuel cells can offer a cleaner alternative for public transportation. One of the unique features of the ferry (besides it being quiet and smoke-free) is the team installed a drinking fountain on board where passengers can drink the pure water produced by the fuel cells.

    Looking ahead, Pace reveals the company's plans to expand to New York City, hoping to bring clean energy ferries to the NYC Ferry system. He emphasizes the importance of public support in pushing for zero-emission transportation and invites listeners to be part of the clean maritime movement. Tune in to hear about the innovation behind Switch Maritime and the future of sustainable ferry transportation!​
