Project Verdant – Zero Emission Crew Transfer Vessel (ZE-CTV), Phase 1 Conversion Feasibility Study

绿色项目——零排放船员转运船（ZE-CTV）是绿色海洋（英国）有限公司的一个项目，得到了欧洲海洋能源中心有限公司（EMEC）、Mwaves有限公司、UHI、Manor Marine、Hydrogen John、Corio、Corvus和West of Orkney风电场的支持，这将使该行业朝着消除用于英国海上风电场安装和维护的ctv的温室气体排放的方向发展。据估计，到2050年，将需要超过1600艘船员转运船（CTV）为英国和欧盟的风力发电场提供服务。在同一时间框架内，国际海事组织温室气体战略是到2050年，国际航运的年总排放量至少减少50%，更直接的是，该战略设想到2030年，与2008年的水平相比，二氧化碳排放量减少40%。该战略将在2023年进行修订，强调需要加倍努力减少温室气体排放。为了实现这一目标和其他国家气候目标（到2050年实现净零排放），英国CTV机队必须脱碳。该项目的重点是对现有的25米CTV进行可行性研究，使其能够在零排放模式下运行。这将成为实现项目团队更雄心勃勃的目标的垫脚石。可行性研究的目标是：确定如何减少并最终消除CTV船队和工作船操作员的温室气体排放。-定义和量化使用氢作为燃料的挑战，包括：技术、后勤、监管和立法以及运营参数。-根据生命周期排放和经济影响定义效益。-确定这种和未来氢动力船舶的商业应用，以支持海上风电项目。制定规范，成本并获得原则上的批准，将现有船舶转换为氢燃料电池混合动力船舶，用于零排放作业。可行性研究的主要成果包括：*生产成本和CTV转换的详细规格。*取得海事处及船级社的原则上批准。

Project Verdant -- Zero Emission Crew Transfer Vessel (ZE-CTV) is a project from Green Marine (UK) Ltd, with support from The European Marine Energy Centre Limited (EMEC),Mwaves Ltd, UHI, Manor Marine, Hydrogen John, Corio,Corvus and West of Orkney Windfarm, which will enable this sector to move towards eliminating GHG emissions from the CTVs used for the installation and maintenance of UK offshore windfarms.It is estimated that over 1600 crew transfer vessels CTV's will be required by 2050 to service UK and EU wind farms, in the same time frame, the IMO greenhouse gas strategy is for total annual emissions from international shipping to be reduced by at least 50% by 2050 and more immediately, this strategy envisages a 40% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030, both compared to 2008 levels. The strategy will be revised in 2023 stressing the need on doubling down in these GHG emission reduction efforts. In order to meet this and other national climate goals (Net Zero by 2050) it is essential that the UK CTV fleet is decarbonised.The project will be focusing in performing a feasibility study for converting an existing 25 m CTV to be able to operate in Zero Emission mode. This will serve as the steppingstone to reach the project teams more ambitious goalsThe feasibility study objectives are:-- Determine how to reduce and eventually eliminate the GHG emissions from the fleet of a CTV and work boat operator.-- Define and quantify the challenges of using hydrogen as a fuel, including: Technological, Logistical, Regulatory and legislative, and Operational parameters.-- Define the benefits in terms of lifecycle emissions and economic impacts.-- Define commercial applications for this and future hydrogen powered vessels for the support of offshore wind projects.-- Produce the specification, costings & obtain approval in principle to convert an existing vessel to a Hydrogen fuel cell - hybrid vessel for Zero Emission Operations.The feasibility study main deliverables are:* Produce costings and a detailed specification for the CTV conversion.* Obtain approval in principle from the MCA and the vessel Classification Society.
