Our Mission is Zero Emission
We strive together with you for a ZERO-emission future.
At eCap Marine, we are revolutionising and redefining the industry with emission-free, sustainable energy solutions, driving the liveable future! As a pioneer in engineering and integrating green power generation system solutions, such as hydrogen fuel cell systems, battery and/or hybrid technologies. We provide the industry with feasible and innovative technology solutions to reduce environmental impact, contributing to the global transition to green energy. Our cutting-edge, scalable solutions are designed to meet each client's and application's requirements, ensuring an efficient, reliable and safe energy supply on water and land.
Our Initiation
eCap Marine started its mission more than 10 years ago by developing and realising clean power generation solutions in the port of Hamburg in northern Germany as HPE Hybrid Port Energy. Our first projects were focused on flexible solutions for onshore power supply, i.e. cold ironing. We designed, engineered, commissioned and operated the world’s first floating power plant (CHP), the Hybrid Power Barge "Hummel". This innovative barge initially uses NG or LNG as fuel to generate power for cruise ships during their layovers in port, which has significantly lowered emissions of harmful substances (CO2, NOx, no SOx, Particulates) compared to marine diesel engines. By doing so, the Power Barge allows vessels to turn off diesel generators while docked at ports, improving the air quality in harbour cities and showcasing its reliability as a sustainable maritime energy solution.
Our Foundation – What makes us stand out?
Despite being a modest engineering company, we are fully committed to contributing to the global energy transition with sustainable and efficient technology solutions. We are immensely passionate about impacting and embracing a greener energy supply future by creating solutions that set new industry standards.
Our in-house technical experts in naval architecture, electrical engineering, and automation have years of experience dealing with various fuel technologies. Because at eCap Marine, we believe in empowering our team with the tools, knowledge and freedom to innovate, fostering a culture of creativity, continuous learning and growth. So that we are continuously self-driven and never stop further developing and advancing our technology expertise.
Our core values of sustainability, innovation, and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do. Our holistic approach is hence derived from those core values, which combines thinking-outside-the-box innovation, in-depth and practical engineering excellence and a commitment to ESG responsibility, making us a driving force towards delivering tailored technology solutions that not only minimise the environmental impact but also enhance operational performance, at last, supporting the global energy transition.
Our Achievements
To date, we have primed ourselves at the forefront in designing, engineering, and integrating both fixed and mobile (containerised) power generation solutions, either being integrated under or on deck as ship propulsion on water and land for energy supply. Acquiring leading-edge technologies such as hydrogen, batteries (and/or hybrid), and assuring the complete systems to be compact with minimal footprint and enhanced with the possibility of being moved to either multiple locations for operational or for maintenance purposes, maximising their flexibility and utilisation, thus achieving excellent operational and economic benefits.
