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逐步变革，以及商业海运等工业部门的采用。目前，航运业排放的温室气体占全球温室气体排放量的6%以上，但几乎没有可行的替代重型柴油发动机的方案。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运的转变，造船商、运营商和立法者可以使用该系统来帮助推动未来实现无排放航运的有意义的进展。海事部门需要清洁推进示范者建立信任，相信清洁推进是可能的。通过设计和建设一个雄心勃勃的项目，合作伙伴旨在证明有可能在比2050年净零雄心计划目前提议的更短的时间内安全地、有信心地为船舶和工作船只提供动力。该项目基于一个众所周知的需求，该需求是在CMDC1项目与现有合作伙伴合作期间获得的，需要大量船舶为北海和爱尔兰海正在开发的海上风力发电场(凯尔特海电力公司、道格银行、ARRAY)提供服务。该项目的成功完成将证明英国零排放公司的能力，并迅速加速这个迅速成为数十亿英镑的行业对新船舶的需求。它将使英国站在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.
