GreenTransit - Wick Harbour green hydrogen offshore wind crew transfer vessel port demonstrator

GreenTransit是一项合作可行性研究，旨在演示一艘氢燃料船员转运船（CTV），该船在苏格兰的Wick， Caithness运营，为588MW的Beatrice海上风电场提供服务。ctv广泛用于海岸和风电场之间的海上物流，用于技术人员和部件的运输。该项目将计划在英国进行氢气CTV和陆上加油基础设施的首次实际演示，并将于2025年3月实施。GreenTransit将探索在ctv中使用氢气的运输、储存和交付方法，包括安全高效运行所需的基础设施。GreenTransit受益于与SSE Renewables的Gordonbush氢气项目的全面合作，该项目将从附近的Gordonbush陆上风电场生产和供应绿色氢气。GreenTransit将展示整个氢价值链所需的所有关键创新，从生产到最终使用，这是英国在海上风力船领域的第一个，用氢取代海洋天然气油。这项可行性研究将为迅速扩大的海上风电排放的广泛脱碳铺平道路，并与更广泛的英国运输和航运部门相关。在英国，据ORE Catapult估计，CTV数量将从今天的100台增加到2030年的186台，到2050年将增加到383台。目前，ctv每年的运营和维护排放量约为284万吨二氧化碳当量。GreenTransit将海上可再生能源和海事行业最前沿的合作伙伴聚集在一起，目前负责运营超过25台ctv，服务超过1GW的海上风电。该财团具有所需的技术、运营、商业和项目管理经验，并可与广泛的利益相关者接触。该合作伙伴关系包括海上船舶运营商（SSE Renewables的合资企业- Beatrice海上风电场），绿色氢气生产商（SSE Renewables），拥有海事部门现有客户的燃料分销商（Simpson Oils）以及拥有欧洲海洋能源中心（EMEC）专业知识的老牌能源部门港务局（Wick harbour authority）。EMEC是一家专注于提供氢，能源和海事项目的研究和技术组织。该项目团队由第三方雅培风险顾问提供独立的技术安全、工程和风险管理咨询，以及帕累托船舶经纪人——船舶专家提供支持。这将确保所采取的方法是严格和集中的，能够在2025年3月之前在Beatrice风电场进行演示。

GreenTransit is a collaborative feasibility study for the demonstration of a hydrogen fuelled crew transfer vessel (CTV) operating from Wick, Caithness, Scotland to service the 588MW Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm. CTVs are relied upon extensively for marine logistics between shore and the wind farm for the transportation of technicians and parts. The project will plan for the first real-world demonstration of a hydrogen CTV and onshore refuelling infrastructure in the UK and will be implemented by March 2025\.GreenTransit will explore transport, storage and delivery methodology for hydrogen use in CTVs including the required infrastructure for safe and efficient operations. GreenTransit benefits from full alignment with SSE Renewables' Gordonbush Hydrogen Project that will produce and supply green hydrogen from the nearby Gordonbush onshore wind farm. GreenTransit will demonstrate all the critical innovation needed across the full hydrogen value-chain, from production to end-use, a UK first in the offshore wind vessel sector, with hydrogen replacing Marine Gas Oil.This feasibility study will pave the way for the widespread decarbonisation of rapidly expanding offshore wind maritime emissions and be relevant to the wider UK transport and shipping sectors. In the UK, CTV numbers are estimated by ORE Catapult to increase from c100 today to 186 by 2030 and 383 by 2050\. CTVs currently contribute significantly to an estimated 284kt CO2e/year of operations and maintenance emissions.GreenTransit brings together partners at the forefront of the offshore renewables and maritime industries currently responsible for operating more than 25 CTVs servicing over 1GW of offshore wind. This consortium has the required breadth of technical, operational, commercial and project management experience along with demonstrable access to a wide range of stakeholders. The partnership includes offshore vessels operator (SSE Renewables' Joint Venture site - Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm), a green hydrogen producer (SSE Renewables), a fuel distributor (Simpson Oils) with existing customers in the maritime sector and an established energy sector harbour authority (Wick Harbour Authority) with the expertise of the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), a research and technology organisation focussed on delivering hydrogen, energy and maritime projects.This project team is supported by third parties Abbott Risk Consultants providing independent technical Safety, Engineering and Risk Management consultancy and from Pareto Shipbrokers - vessels experts. This will ensure that the approach taken is rigorous and focused enabling demonstration on the Beatrice windfarm by March 2025\.
