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))中设定了全球船队脱碳的雄心勃勃的目标。这包括2030年二氧化碳排放量减少40%，2050年与2008年相比进一步减少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)运营商的巨变，并在解决这些问题上赢得非常重要的商业机会：*一波监管改革正在向零排放强制实施减排，这决定了更有效地利用能源、推进和船舶设计*燃料成本飙升，这将使任何船只的最大全寿命成本膨胀。将电能用于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；它们是对传统技术的改编，不是最优版本，而且它们缺乏在低能量密度燃料下可行所需的效率。DuoDrive不是简单地用电动马达取代柴油发动机，而是采用了获得专利和获奖的反向旋转螺旋桨系统，并将其重新想象为总是使用电动马达驱动。然而，需要在船上存储足够的“绿色”燃料，350巴氢气的大型、重型气缸根本不适用于大多数小型船舶。这一障碍可能会阻止广泛的船舶脱碳。然后，成功的结果将是展示船舶推进和船舶解决方案方面的突破，这些突破将带来重大的全球商业机会、英国的技能和就业机会，以满足这些类别的船舶的国内和出口需求。关键的是，该系统还可以轻松安装，无需重新设计即可改造中年船舶，从而节省成本。我们的颠覆性推进系统能够为全球此类船队提供服务，我们的团队正在共同努力，以实现商业机会。这些技术可以与任何电源一起使用，是新兴的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工艺来延长使用寿命，DuoDrive的Motodrivetrain(R)，完整的能源系统推进系统非常适合。

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.
