Project ZERO - Zero Emission Research and Offshore Service Vessel

** 零排放项目 ** 将证明长期实现海上调查和研究船（OSRVs）零排放作业的技术和经济可行性，同时对未来替代燃料的发展保持灵活性。除了自身的绿色资质外，该船还将支持快速发展的海上可再生能源行业的扩张。该项目将研究创新的船舶设计和与节能混合动力传动系统的集成，以提高船舶的整体效率，从而显著减少温室气体排放，并加速向零排放燃料的过渡。虽然在短期内，混合燃料将用于创新的机舱配置，但随着监管和技术的发展，从长远来看，该船将能够纯粹使用氢，氨，该项目解决了实现零排放推进和加强英国海运业的关键挑战和障碍，如 * 从高能量化石燃料过渡到船舶和综合系统的能源效率改进 * 大幅减少海上可再生能源支持活动的GHG排放 * 集成创新的传动系统和混合电动操作的控制策略 * 推进与海运业替代燃料的储存、处理和操作有关的新规则和法规的制定和论证。加快供应链发展，技能和教育，以在英国建造世界领先的海上支援船

**Project Zero** will demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of achieving zero emission operations of offshore survey and research vessels (OSRVs) in the long-term, while remaining flexible to future alternative fuel developments. Outside of its own green credentials, the vessel will support expansion of the rapidly accelerating offshore renewable energy industry. The project will investigate innovative ship designs and integration with energy efficient hybrid drive train systems to increase overall ship efficiency resulting in significant reduction of greenhouse gas emission and accelerating the transition to zero emission fuels. While in the short term a mix of fuel will be used in an innovative engine room configuration, moving with regulatory and technological developments in the long term the vessel will be able to operate purely fuelled by hydrogen, ammonia, or other alternative fuels.The project address key challenges and barriers of achieving zero-emission propulsion and strengthening the UK maritime industry such as* energy efficiency improvements of ship and integrated systems in light of transition from high energy fossil fuels* significantly reducing GHG emissions of offshore renewable support activities* integration of innovative drive train systems and control strategies for hybrid-electric operations* advancing development and justification of new rules and regulations relating to the storage, handling and operation of alternative fuels in the maritime industry.* Accelerating supply chain developments, skills and education towards building world leading offshore support vessels in the UK
