Here’s an invention Captain Ahab could love: Icelandic Hydrogen has created a ship-board hydrogen energy system that is an auxiliary power source for The Elding, a 130-ton, 150 passenger ship used as a whale-watching vessel.

The technology isn’t just intended for ships; it is being examined for multiple transportation challenges.
