California officials have announced plans to launch the world’s first hydrogen-powered commercial passenger ferry on San Francisco Bay in a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions. The 70-foot catamaran, named the MV Sea Change, will demonstrate the viability of hydrogen fuel as a clean alternative to diesel-powered vessels, addressing the urgent need to cut down on planet-warming emissions in the transportation sector. This major development aligns with global efforts to transition to sustainable energy sources and could serve as a model for other regions seeking to decarbonize their maritime transport.
