High Efficiency Hydrogen/Ammonia Engine Generator for Novel Electric drivetrain for Marine & Aviation

2018年4月，国际海事组织（IMO）在海洋环境保护委员会（MEPC）决议（MEPC204(72)）中设定了雄心勃勃的全球船队脱碳目标。这包括到2030年将二氧化碳排放量减少40%，到2050年进一步扩大到与2008年相比减少70%。一场完美的风暴即将在全球范围内推动小型商业和休闲船只（特别是30米以下）的运营商发生翻天覆地的变化，解决这些问题将赢得非常重要的商业机会：*一系列监管变化正在强制减排，以实现净零排放，这要求更有效地利用能源、推进和船舶设计*不断飙升的燃料成本将使任何船舶的整个生命周期成本膨胀到最大。利用电气化能源进行船舶推进的可行性和可及性大多数旨在解决这些问题的解决方案都受到严重限制；它们是传统技术的适应性、次优版本，并且缺乏低能量密度燃料所需的效率。而不是简单地用电动机取代柴油发动机，Duodrive已经采取了他们的专利和屡获殊荣的反向旋转螺旋桨系统，并重新想象它，好像它总是与电动马达驱动。然而，船上需要储存足够的“绿色”燃料，而且对于大多数小型船舶来说，350巴的大型重型氢气气瓶根本不可行。这一障碍可能会阻碍大量海洋船舶的脱碳。成功的成果将展示船舶推进和船舶解决方案的突破，为满足这些级别船舶的国内和出口需求提供重要的全球商业机会、英国技能和就业机会。重要的是，该系统还可以轻松安装，无需重新设计即可改造中期船舶，从而节省成本，提高效率，并为运营商和大量潜在客户带来新的生命。我们的颠覆性推进系统能够服务于全球船队，我们的团队正在共同努力实现商业机会。这些技术可以与任何电源一起使用，是新兴低碳和低能量密度燃料系统的理想选择；确保最大的燃油经济性，同时扩大工艺范围，可用性和实用性。无论是新造的还是通过改造旧的但有价值的船只来延长使用寿命，Duodrive的Motodrivetrain(r)，整个能源系统的推进都非常适合。

In April 2018, the International Marine Organisation (IMO) set the ambitious goal to decarbonise the global fleet in the Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) Resolution (MEPC204(72)). This includes a reduction in Carbon Dioxide emissions of 40% in 2030, further extending to a reduction of 70% in 2050 when compared with 2008\.There is on the horizon a perfect storm driving seismic shifts across the globe for operators of small commercial & leisure craft (especially under 30m) and very significant commercial opportunities to be won in addressing them:* A wave of regulatory changes are imposing emissions reductions toward Net Zero which dictate more efficient use of energy, propulsion and vessel designs* The soaring cost of fuel that will inflate the biggest through-life-cost of any vessel. The viability and accessibility of using electrified energy for marine propulsionMost solutions aiming to solve these problems suffer from severe limitations; they are adapted, sub-optimal versions of legacy technologies and they lack the efficiencies needed to be viable with low energy density fuels.Rather than simply replacing diesel engines with electric motors, Duodrive have taken their patented and award winning contra-rotating propeller system and re- imagined it as though it was always with an electric motor drive.However there is a need to store sufficient "green" fuel on-board and large, heavy cylinders with Hydrogen at 350-bar are simply not going to be viable for most Small Ships. This hurdle could possibly be the one which stops decarbonisation of a wide range of marine vessels.Successful outcomes then will be to showcase a breakthrough in marine propulsion and vessel solutions that open significant global commercial opportunities, UK skills and jobs to meet domestic and export requirements for these classes of vessel.Critically, the system can also be easily installed to retrofit mid-life vessels without re-design, giving savings, efficiencies and a new lease of life to those operators and a large pool of prospective customers.Our disruptive propulsion system is able to serve the global fleet of such vessels and our Team are working together to achieve the commercial opportunity.These technologies can be used with any electrical power source and are ideal for the emerging low-carbon and low-energy density fuel systems; ensuring maximum fuel economy while extending craft range, usability and practicality.Whether it be newbuilds or extending the service life by retrofitting older but valuable craft, Duodrive's Motodrivetrain(r), the complete energy system propulsion simply fits.
