Demonstrator for scalable 1MW+ Zero Emission battery-hydrogen hybrid propulsion system

向清洁运输的过渡需要技术上的一步变革，以及商业海运等工业部门的采用。目前，航运占全球绿色房屋气体排放量的6%以上，但重型柴油发动机的可行替代品很少。该项目旨在通过展示清洁（零排放）推进系统的物理模型来加速向清洁海洋航运的转变，船舶建造商、运营商和立法者可以使用该系统来帮助推动未来无排放航运取得有意义的进展。海事部门需要清洁推进示范企业建立对清洁推进可行性的信任。通过设计和建造一个雄心勃勃的项目，合作伙伴的目标是证明在比2050年净零排放目标更短的时间内安全和自信地为船舶和工作船舶提供动力是可能的。该项目是基于一个很好理解的要求，在CMDC1项目期间与现有合作伙伴获得，为一些船舶提供服务，这些船舶迫切需要为北海和爱尔兰海正在开发的海上风电场提供服务（凯尔特海上电力，多格银行，阵列）。这个项目的成功结束将证明英国零排放公司的能力，并迅速加速对新船的需求，这一行业正迅速成为一个数十亿磅的行业。它将使英国处于向清洁技术过渡的前沿，并将对海洋和大气（气候）环境产生直接和长期的积极影响。

The transition to clean transport requires a step change in technology, and adoption by industrial sectors such as commercial marine. Presently, shipping accounts for over 6% of the world's Green House Gas emissions but there are few viable alternatives to heavy diesel engines.The project aims to accelerate the shift to clean marine shipping by demonstrating a physical model of a clean (zero emissions) propulsion system, that can be used by ship builders, operators and legislators to help drive meaningful progress towards emission free shipping in future. The Maritime sector requires clean propulsion demonstrators to build trust that clean propulsion is possible.By designing and building a highly ambitious project, the partners aim to prove that it is possible to power ships and working vessels safely and with confidence in a much shorter timeframe than is currently proposed by the 2050 Net Zero ambitions. The project is based around a well understood requirement, acquired during CMDC1 projects with the existing partners, for a number of vessels which are urgently required to service the offshore wind farms under development in the North and Irish seas (Celtic Sea Power, Dogger Bank, array).A successful conclusion to this project will prove the capabilities of UK zero emission companies, and rapidly accelerate demand for new vessels from what is rapidly becoming a multi-billion-pound sector. It will place the UK at the forefront of the transition to clean technologies and will have immediate and long-lasting positive impacts on the marine and atmospheric (climatic) environments.
