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

绿色项目--零排放船员转移船（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、科里奥、Corvus和奥克尼风电场西部的支持，这将使该行业能够逐步消除用于安装和维护英国海上风电场的CTV的温室气体排放。据估计，到2050年，将需要超过1600艘船员转运船CTV为英国和欧盟的风电场提供服务，在同一时间范围内，国际海事组织的温室气体战略是到2050年将国际航运的年总排放量减少至少50%，更直接的是，该战略设想到2030年将二氧化碳排放量减少40%，与2008年的水平相比。该战略将于2023年修订，强调需要加倍减少温室气体排放。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车队必须脱碳。该项目将重点进行可行性研究，将现有的25米CTV转换为能够在零排放模式下运行。这将成为项目团队实现更宏伟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和工作船运营商船队的温室气体排放。定义和量化使用氢作为燃料的挑战，包括：技术，物流，监管和立法以及操作参数。从生命周期排放和经济影响的角度定义效益。定义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、成本计算并获得批准，将现有船舶转换为氢燃料电池-混合动力船舶，以实现零排放。可行性研究的主要交付成果包括：* 制定CTV转换的成本计算和详细规范。*获得MCA和船舶船级社的原则批准。

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.
