The construction of 212 class submarines shows that Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems, including fuel cells and auxiliary systems, have come to a proven state of air-independent propulsion systems. Storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides and oxygen in liquid form is ready for submarine application, safe and reliable. On the basis of experience today reactant storage has to be and can be improved, if longer underwater endurances of submarines are required. A promising solution is reforming of hydrocarbons, especially steamreforming of methanol, to generate hydrogen on board.
