Project Cygnus - Zero Emissions Potential in the Re-Power of Small Inboard and Sterndrive Craft

EMB与Bebus咨询公司共同确定了一个海洋部分，其中实现净零排放的路线提出了一些重要问题：*随着排放法规的引入，内河航道、码头和沿海水域将会发生什么？*这项立法是什么样子的？*如何改装小型商业及休闲船只以达到排放目标？现有的动力装置能否被替换或“重新供电”为电动或混合动力当量？*很明显，改变是必要的，但在一个船舶所有权通常以几十年而不是几年来衡量的市场中，这对现有的船舶公园意味着什么？这项研究深入研究了现有的7米至14米的内舷和船尾驱动船体和船体设计的商业、实践和财务方面，并采用能够零排放运行的技术。作为典型的船舶，作者将首先从汽车开始，他们丰富的经验使他们处于有利地位，可以利用技术进步，以及如何适应这个迷人行业的独特要求。

EMB, together with Bebus Consulting, has identified a marine segment where the route to net zero poses some significant questions:* What will happen to inland waterways, marinas and coastal waters as emissions regulations are introduced?* What will this legislation look like?* How can small commercial and leisure craft be adapted to meet the emissions targets? Can existing power units be replaced or "repowered" with electric or hybrid equivalents?* It's clear that change is needed but in a market where boat ownership is often measured in decades rather than years, what does this mean for the existing boat park?This study looks deep into the commercial, practical and financial aspects of repowering existing 7m-14m inboard and sterndrive hulls and hull designs with technology that is capable of zero emissions running.As is typical of marine, the authors will initially take the lead from automotive, of which their extensive experience places them in a great position to leverage technological advancements and how they may be adapted to suit the unique requirements of this fascinating sector.
