- Baleària will install Europe’s first stand-alone e-methanol electricity generation container on the electric ferry CAP DE BARBARIA.
- The eNomad system, developed by Methanol Reformer, reforms renewable methanol to produce hydrogen on board for auxiliary power.
- The project turns the Ibiza–Formentera ferry into a hydrogen research platform, testing fuel cells, batteries and methanol as an energy vector.
- The hydrogen will power a fuel cell, reducing generator use, cutting fuel consumption and lowering emissions.
- Baleària wants to assess scalability for other ships and routes as part of its broader decarbonisation strategy.
- CAP DE BARBARIA already operates with zero emissions in port, cutting CO₂ by 33% since 2023.
- The initiative forms part of the BUCEMTO project, supported by EU Next Generation funds.
- Baleària continues a multi-energy approach, combining natural gas, biofuels, electricity, hydrogen and methanol.
