"The Sea Change is the first, world's first passenger hydrogen ferry. So it's a very exciting day that has huge implications for the future. And yes, they absolutely have plans to build more of them and bigger ones and faster ones."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jim Wunderman, chair, San Francisco Bay Ferry Board:
"We're putting this into service in San Francisco, right in the heart of the waterfront from Fisherman's Wharf to the Ferry Building. And we're going to operate it three days a week entirely for free."
7. Ferry on San Francisco Bay
8. SOUNDBITE (English)Jim Wunderman, chair, San Francisco Bay Ferry Board:
"Hydrogen can run a vessel for a very long distance, so even potentially oceangoing vessels could run on hydrogen. The maritime industry is responsible for 3% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, so that is a really material improvement. If we can switch these huge, oceangoing vessels, from diesel over to hydrogen, I think we're going to see that happen."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Pratt, CEO, Zero Emission Industries:
"Pretty simply, we have hydrogen is where we store all the energy. That hydrogen goes into a fuel cell. The way a fuel cell works is, no moving parts, no combustion. It just, has the hydrogen and air make electricity directly. That electricity then goes down to electric motors that are in the hole and turn the propellers and make the boat go."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Pratt, CEO, Zero Emission Industries:
"The future is that we see a huge amount of demand for our hydrogen-powered engines. As California and the rest of the world switches away from diesel, there's a real demand to power these really heavy duty boats. And batteries just can't do the job. They're not powerful enough."

"There are cities around the world. There are entire countries that we've talked to about using maritime adoption of hydrogen to really jump start hydrogen economy in local sectors around harbors."

STORYLINE:
The world’s first hydrogen-powered commercial passenger ferry will start operating on San Francisco Bay as part of plans to phase out diesel-powered vessels and reduce planet-warming carbon emissions, California officials said Friday, demonstrating the ship.
The 70-foot (21-meter) catamaran called the MV Sea Change will transport up to 75 passengers along the waterfront between Pier 41 and the downtown San Francisco ferry terminal starting July 19, officials said. The service will be free for six months while it's being run as part of a pilot program.
Sea Change can travel about 300 nautical miles and operate for 16 hours before it needs to refuel. The fuel cells produce electricity by combining oxygen and hydrogen in an electrochemical reaction that emits water as a byproduct.
The technology could help clean up the shipping industry, which produces nearly 3% of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions, officials said. That’s less than from cars, trucks, rail or aviation but still a lot — and it’s rising.
Backers also hope hydrogen fuel cells could eventually power container ships.
