As international industries strive towards zero-emission policies, one company stands at the forefront of this revolutionary shift within the maritime sector. Stockholm-based startup, Echandia, is leading the charge by authoring the latest in heavy-duty energy systems for zero-emission maritime, rail, and wind power.

Echandia’s energy system solutions are a beacon of sustainable maritime advancements coming out of Scandinavia. The firm’s commitment to pioneering new technologies while pushing for global maritime sustainability makes it stand apart in the industry. But does this indicate that Scandinavia is indeed leading the revolutionary shift towards zero-emission maritime energy?

Key takeaways:

  • Echandia offers the most advanced, safest heavy-duty energy systems, particularly for the maritime sector.
  • The Stockholm-based company works with Toshiba’s LTO (Lithium-Titanium-Oxide) cells to provide long-lasting, high-performance ESS (Energy Storage Systems).
  • Echandia is the sole firm with a DNV-GL type approval for LTO battery systems
  • Pioneer of sustainable maritime innovations, pushing towards the ultimate aim of zero-emission shipping.
  • Echandia is part of the Global Maritime Forum’s Getting to Zero Coalition, aiming to significantly reduce CO2/GHG emissions.

What sets Echandia apart is its focus on safety and reliability merged with innovative technology. The company’s proprietary lightweight battery racks and systems are built on Toshiba’s advanced LTO cells, and Echandia stands as Toshiba’s preferred maritime module integrator. The Stockholm-based innovator is one of the few providers globally capable of undertaking large projects in this area.

Echandia’s systems feature high power, long lifetimes, and strong high-cycle rates even under heavy use. They also boast a state-of-the-art Battery Management System that ensures long-term performance and safety. Furthermore, Echandia is now developing a fuel cell system for large ships in partnership with the Canadian firm, Redrock Power Systems.
