HERO is our hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system for Narrow Boat and Wide Beams. Designed to supplement solar - electric boating, HERO will get you back to your home mooring or hire centre when the sun is not shining.
 
HERO has a 1kW/h fuel cell and 3.6kg of hydrogen storage.  Depending on conditions and use, we believe this will give around 50 miles of cruising range.  HERO will support both electric boating and your domestic power by charging your batteries when the solar panels are not able too. It replaces having a diesel powered generator.
 
HERO is filled with hydrogen gas at 350 bar from a trailer at a quayside.  Through our sister company, Network Hy Ltd, we are able to arrange delivery of hydrogen to the canal. Please ask for further details. 

HERO is designed to be permanently installed into a gas-tight compartment built into the side of the vessel, ideally during construction. We provide all the hydrogen equipment pre-assembled to be installed by the boat builder or fit out company. We support installation with instructions, and certification of the vessel to Recreation Craft Directive by providing a technical file.

Using green hydrogen (made from renewable electricity) HERO is the future of truly carbon-free, near silent boating.
