The basis for the study is to assess the viability for Thames Clippers to transition over the next 10 years to vessels that use hydrogen fuel cell, batteries and electric motors for propulsion instead of diesel engines, a technology that is proven but not yet deployed anywhere in the world at significant scale. Project HOST will deliver a high-profile public demonstration of the supply of hydrogen, with vessels built in the UK and operating in London, together with a low carbon hydrogen production hub fuelling multiple modes of transport.This will accelerate the deployment of other vessels and modes of transport switching to hydrogen, knowing a safe, reliable hydrogen supply is available and practical. The project will consider the construction of a low carbon oxygen and hydrogen hub on the south bank of the Thames which combines the off-take requirements for the Thames Clippers and other demand in the area and provides a leading innovative decarbonisation solution for the Thames. Delivering hydrogen projects requires innovation at many levels: new technology, supply chains, skills and innovative partnerships. Project HOST contains all these elements and once delivered will provide a model for other hydrogen maritime projects to follow, accelerating the greening and cleaning of maritime in the UK.The study will start the process of decarbonising the Thames and create a provision for refuelling the UK's first hydrogen fleet of British built high speed passenger river buses. The project includes the manufacturing and maritime industry, electricity and water treatment providers to ensure that the end to-end supply chain requirements are delivered and benefits equitably share.Project HOST contains three members (Arup, Shell and National Grid) who are already collaborating on another hydrogen production project in the Thames area and have successfully completed a feasibility study, providing confidence in the teams delivery capability and wider intent. With the inclusion of Thames Clippers, the requirements of the vessel operator will be fully understood and designed-in to the refuelling solution. We also have within the team, in Wight Ship Yard, the UK's foremost high speed river bus builder and manufacturer of the existing fleet. This study will enable them to rapidly move into manufacturing the first generation of hydrogen powered vessels.The proposed location for Project HOST is the National Grid and Thames Water owned land adjacent to the old Littlebrook power station, close to an existing pier and M25 Dartford junction.

这项研究的基础是评估泰晤士河快艇在未来10年过渡到使用氢燃料电池、电池和电动马达推进的船只的可行性，而不是柴油发动机，这项技术已经得到验证，但尚未在世界上任何地方大规模部署。项目主办方将高调公开展示氢气的供应，在英国建造并在伦敦运营的船只，以及一个为多种运输方式提供燃料的低碳氢气生产中心。这将加快其他船只和交通工具转向氢气的部署，因为他们知道安全、可靠的氢气供应是可用的和实用的。该项目将考虑在泰晤士河南岸建设一个低碳的氧气和氢气枢纽，该枢纽将结合泰晤士河快艇的起飞要求和该地区的其他需求，并为泰晤士河提供领先的创新脱碳解决方案。实施氢能项目需要多个层面的创新：新技术、供应链、技能和创新伙伴关系。项目东道主包含了所有这些元素，一旦交付，将为其他氢气海运项目提供一个效仿的模式，加速英国海事的绿化和清洁。这项研究将启动泰晤士河的脱碳进程，并为英国制造的第一批氢气高速客运河流巴士提供燃料。该项目包括制造业和航运业、电力和水处理提供商，以确保端到端供应链要求的交付和利益的公平分享。项目东道主包括三名成员(奥雅纳、壳牌和国家电网)，他们已经在泰晤士河地区的另一个氢气生产项目上进行合作，并成功完成了可行性研究，使人们对团队的交付能力和更广泛的意图充满信心。随着泰晤士号快艇的加入，船舶运营商的要求将被充分理解和设计-在加油解决方案中。我们的团队还在鬼魂造船厂，这是英国最重要的高速河流巴士制造商和现有车队的制造商。这项研究将使他们能够迅速进入制造第一代氢动力船舶。项目东道主的拟议地点是国家电网和泰晤士水务拥有的土地，毗邻旧的利特布鲁克发电站，靠近现有的码头和M25达特福德交叉口。
