    Default MarineMax to use hydrogen extracted directly from seawater to power its boats

    KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL ― September 26, 2018 ― Joi Scientific™ Inc., whose mission is to make clean and affordable hydrogen energy available to all, has signed the first-ever license agreement for its Hydrogen 2.0™ production technology with MarineMax® (NYSE: HZO), the world’s largest boat and yacht retailer. The license agreement grants MarineMax the exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and sell propulsion and auxiliary boat power systems capable of running on hydrogen extracted from seawater using Joi Scientific’s Hydrogen 2.0 technology for the worldwide marine industry. MarineMax and Joi Scientific will undertake joint development to bring hydrogen-based energy solutions to leading vendors in the marine industry. Hydrogen 2.0 is the world’s first hydrogen production process based on the clean and affordable extraction of hydrogen directly from untreated seawater, on-demand, at the point of use.

    Hydrogen 2.0 technology will allow MarineMax to power boats, yachts, and ships using direct combustion, hybrid electric, or fuel cells to convert the hydrogen to power. This power can be used for multiple applications—including auxiliary power for lighting, heating, cooling, and cabin services, in addition to primary or secondary propulsion of any vessel.“

    Joi Scientific’s innovative Hydrogen 2.0 technology provides three major advantages to the marine industry,” explains William McGill, Jr., Chairman and CEO of MarineMax. “It uses seawater as the base fuel stock that is very readily available. It derives power from a safe and reliable conversion process that is sustainable; involves no combustion of hydrocarbons; emits no carbon; and when used with fuel cells, produces no noise. It is also highly versatile and can potentially scale from auxiliary power for boats at anchor to powering the main propulsion system of pleasure and commercial yachts and ships.”

    It is planned that the development of on-board power systems using Hydrogen 2.0 technology will be undertaken jointly by MarineMax, Joi Scientific, and their co-development partners who will work with vendors across the industry to develop complete solutions. Development work will initially focus on auxiliary power systems for yachts and for use in slow-speed cruising propulsion.

    “Hydrogen is the world’s best fuel. By weight hydrogen is energy dense, and its only by-product is clean water when consumed,” says Traver Kennedy, CEO of Joi Scientific. “MarineMax, an innovator with a strong history of leadership, is an ideal partner to work with to develop our Hydrogen 2.0 technology for the marine industry, bringing the benefits of hydrogen to boats, yachts, and seagoing marine vessels around the world.”

    This is a very exciting development, combining fuel cells with hydrogen extraction from seawater is truly mind-blowing.

    It is but hydrogen fuel cells have been around for a while.
    I bought BALLARD POWER SYSTEMS INC, symbol BLDP, back in 1999 and sold it in '01 after the tech bubble burst. It's stock has flat lined since. I'm actually a little surprised the company still exists. For some reason it just hasn't taken off.
    It is promising to know that the technology is there when the day comes that human can no longer extract nrg in the form of fossil fuels.

    I have shares in a British company called AFC that can utilise both ammonia and hydrogen as a feedstock. The amazing aspect here is being able to produce hydrogen directly from seawater, I don't know anybody else who is doing that.

    Why don't you report on things that are instead of things that might be, someday?
