RESHIP: REDEFINE ENERGY EFFICIENCY SOLUTIONS FOR HYDROGENPOWERED SHIPS IN MARITIME AND INLAND TRANSPORT

在零排放水上运输(ZEWT)框架下，氢气作为未来的船舶燃料，为实现温室气体零排放提供了机会。然而，车载氢气存储和利用方面的挑战阻碍了这场期待已久的革命。迫切需要新颖有效的技术解决方案。该项目名为RESHIP，旨在通过两个不同领域的颠覆性技术--节能设备(ESD)和船上氢气利用--重新定义船舶和内河航道新建和改造的船舶节能解决方案。关于ESD，该项目建议研究和开发以结节辅助推进器(TAP)为中心的独立/联合应用中的氢兼容ESD解决方案，以提高船舶的推进能量效率，并优化氢动力和驱动系统。RESHIP通过新型的高能效氢气载体技术HydSil，将ESD技术与高能效的船上氢气利用技术的研究联系起来，为氢气驱动的船舶提供全面的节能解决方案，系统地重塑氢气驱动的船舶。总而言之，与最先进的氢动力船舶相比，RESHIP的目标是实现至少35%的整体节能，并将氢气存储空间和/或重量需求减半。该提案响应了Horizon Europe研究与创新行动呼吁，主题为“创新型车载节能解决方案”(ID：Horizon-CL5-2021-D5-01-10)。该联盟汇集了世界领先的多学科专家和关键专利持有者，以及来自9个欧盟国家的13个合作伙伴，形成了一个互补的利益相关者小组。该财团涵盖两个工业部门，航运和船舶以及氢气。已开发技术的实施将在技术、环境、成本经济、安全和监管层面进行演示和验证，使TRL从2-3提高到5-6。

Under the framework of Zero Emission Waterborne Transport (ZEWT), hydrogen as the future fuel for ships offers an opportunity to zero the GHG emission. Nevertheless, the challenges for onboard hydrogen storage and utilisation obstruct this long desired revolution. Novel and effective technology solution is urgently needed. The project, RESHIP, aims to redefine the onboard energy saving solutions for newbuilds and retrofits in marine and inland waterway with disruptive technologies in two distinct areas, Energy Saving Devices (ESDs) and onboard hydrogen utilisation. Regarding the ESDs, the project proposes to research and develop hydrogen compatible ESD solutions in standalone/combined applications, centered around Tubercle Assisted Propulsors (TAPs), to improve the vessel's propulsive energy efficiency and to optimise towards hydrogen power and drive system. With the novel and energy efficient hydrogen carrier technology HydroSil, RESHIP links the ESD technology to the research of the energy efficient onboard hydrogen utilisation technology to systematically reshape the hydrogen driven ships with a holistic energy saving solution. Together, RESHIP aims to achieve a minimum overall 35% energy saving and to half the hydrogen storage demands on space and/or weight, comparing to the state-of-the-art hydrogen powered vessels. The proposal responds to the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action call on the topic “Innovative on-board energy saving solutions” (ID: HORIZON-CL5-2021-D5-01-10). The consortium gathers world-leading multidisciplinary experts and key patent holders with 13 partners from 9 EU countries, forging a complementary stakeholder group. The consortium covers two industrial sectors, shipping and ships together with hydrogen. The implementation of the developed technologies will be demonstrated and validated in technical, environmental, cost economical, safety and regulatory levels, bringing TRL from 2-3 to 5-6.
