The problem

The challenge for the global maritime industry

Regulatory pressure

FUELEU regulations mandating CO2 reductions, increased Emissions Control Areas and strengthened regulations on air pollutants.

Decarbonising cost effectively

To maintain access to ports, commercial maritime operators must find scalable, cost-effective solutions for their fleets.

Safety remains paramount

Alternative power solutions must meet stringent operating safety standards for maritime use.

Benefits

How Ternary solves maritime industry challenges

Key operational benefits for maritime operators.

Economically viable

Our closed loop Ternary Fuel provides power at a price point as low as the all-in cost of diesel, without the emissions.

Scalable for all maritime use cases

Converters can be stacked to produce increasing power, situated dockside as stationary units or onboard across a range of vessels.

Energy beyond traditional grids

Frees ports and fleet operators from grid connection queues, costs and constraints.

Easy to adopt and operate

Provides power just like traditional diesel generators to power electric drivetrains and hotel load.

We've Got Answers

Don't have the answer you're after?

Get in touch and we'll get back to you.

Is your system essentially a battery technology?

Our solution transfers electricity through a liquid carrier that can be charged and discharged. This combines the recharging capability of batteries with the speed of a diesel tank fill. No dangerous or difficult to handle hydrogen, no lithium.

How do you achieve zero emissions?

We never combust the liquid carrier. It carries the electrical charge which is released in an electrochemical conversion process. The system is designed as a closed loop so all by-products are contained.

Who provides the liquid carrier?

The liquid carrier is based on commodity chemicals widely used today. Ternary has developed technology to recharge this liquid carrier, creating and endless supply to keep your world running.

What power output is your solution capable of delivering?

Our system is being designed to deliver a range of power from 50kW to 100's of MW. The system is modular by design so units can be linked to provide greater scale for power hungry locations such as remote mining, port environments or large construction sites.

Which industry customers are currently interested in the solution?

Designers, builders and operators wanting to eliminate their dependence on diesel are ideally suited to using Ternary technology.

How can I provide my business data to understand the benefits for me?

You can arrange a tailored feasibility and initial cost benefit assessment with Ternary’s team. Complete the form here and we’ll arrange to discuss.

What other industries do you serve?

Ternary technology can be used anywhere energy is needed, and cannot be obtained through a direct grid connection. Take a look at our other industry pages to learn more.
