The 'Hydrogen in an Integrated Maritime Energy Transition' (HIMET) project will demonstrate maritime decarbonisation enabling technologies, encompassing the design, development, and demonstration of four solutions:1.Hydrogen systems and future micro-grid architectures for resilient shore-side power, including testing of a hybrid hydrogen/solar system and deployment of this hybrid system on Orkney;2.Combustion of hydrogen in a marine propulsion engine, through testing at a dedicated hydrogen test facility in the north east of England;3.Demonstration of a marinised hydrogen storage container, for the application on board a vessel; and4. Hydrogen fuel cell demonstration, showing the potential of the technology to safely supply auxiliary power for a vessel.This ambitious programme of activities will focus on the decarbonisation of two key maritime sectors in Orkney: ferry service and cruise terminal operations. These first-of-a-kind demonstrations will build the evidence base needed to enable broader maritime decarbonisation using hydrogen technologies. Although our activities focus on addressing challenges seen in the Orkney context, our findings will be applicable to all island and coastal environments where vessels provide vital lifeline services.After project demonstration activities are complete, HIMET partners will pursue opportunities to develop applications for type approval of the systems demonstrated, in order to facilitate uptake across the UK, and beyond. This will create market opportunities for the integrated HIMET team of UK technology developers and maritime engineering experts.In parallel, we will also carry out research and stakeholder engagement activities to establish how these deployments can best inform the broader maritime energy transition in Orkney and elsewhere. We will draw upon embedded energy system and maritime innovation expertise in Orkney and in the north east of England, both areas identified as centres of excellence in research and development for these sectors. Our consortium is further strengthened by the involvement of leading technology developers from all across the United Kingdom, who will bring their innovative systems and solutions to Orkney for testing in our "living laboratory".This combined work programme will build on Orkney's position as an ideal location to research, develop and demonstrate the maritime technologies and working practices of the future.

“综合海上能源转型中的氢”（HIMET）项目将展示海上脱碳技术，包括四种解决方案的设计，开发和演示：1.氢系统和未来用于弹性岸边电力的微电网架构，包括测试氢/太阳能混合系统并在奥克尼部署这种混合系统; 2.通过在英格兰东北部的专用氢气测试设施进行测试，在船舶推进发动机中燃烧氢气; 3.示范在船舶上使用的海水浸贮氢容器;及4.氢燃料电池演示，展示了该技术为船舶安全提供辅助动力的潜力。这一雄心勃勃的活动计划将重点关注奥克尼两个关键海事部门的脱碳：渡轮服务和邮轮码头运营。这些首次示范将建立使用氢技术实现更广泛的海上脱碳所需的证据基础。虽然我们的活动重点是解决奥克尼背景下看到的挑战，我们的研究结果将适用于所有岛屿和沿海环境，船舶提供重要的生命线服务。项目演示活动完成后，HIMET合作伙伴将寻求机会开发应用程序，为所展示的系统进行型式认证，以促进英国及其他地区的采用。这将为英国技术开发人员和海事工程专家组成的HIMET综合团队创造市场机会。同时，我们还将开展研究和利益相关者参与活动，以确定这些部署如何最好地为奥克尼和其他地方更广泛的海上能源转型提供信息。我们将利用奥克尼和英格兰东北部的嵌入式能源系统和海事创新专业知识，这两个领域都被确定为这些领域的卓越研发中心。来自英国各地的领先技术开发商的参与进一步加强了我们的联盟，他们将把他们的创新系统和解决方案带到奥克尼，在我们的“生活实验室”进行测试。这一联合工作方案将建立在奥克尼作为研究、开发和展示未来海事技术和工作实践的理想地点的基础上。
