AirWing Wind Propulsion Advanced Manufacture Development Liverpool

拟议的项目旨在为专门在利物浦地区生产的新型风力推进系统(Airwing(Tm))制定制造工艺和标准。GT Green Technologies(GT)是一家总部位于利物浦的公司，该项目旨在为利物浦地区可持续、安全和有弹性的制造流程奠定基础，为航运业的净零和资源效率做出贡献。Airwing是一种新颖而独特的风力推进技术，利用风力发电来减少燃料消耗，从而减少其安装的船舶的碳排放。该装置可以改装或安装在新造的船只上，以减少它们对化石燃料的依赖。该装置可以与替代燃料结合使用，以大大降低运营成本，生产零排放容器。该项目符合大赛的目标，即支持由企业牵头的优秀创新项目，为可持续、安全、先进、敏捷和弹性的制造业做出贡献。该项目将有助于实现利物浦自由港的净零目标。该项目还将通过在利物浦地区专注于这些主题的制造工艺和供应链的发展，建立一个净零和资源高效的供应链和制造流程。通过在利物浦创新集群发展制造联系，该项目将增长该地区在先进制造和材料方面的专业知识。它将提升利物浦作为创新中心的声誉，并吸引新的投资和商业到该地区。该项目还将通过促进当地企业、大学和研究机构之间的合作，创造新的就业机会，推动经济增长。这与寻找竞争目标相一致，即为集群中这些特定领域的发展做出贡献。此外，通过在利物浦地区开发新型风力推进系统制造能力，该项目将有助于解决航运业面临的更广泛的ESG和政治挑战。航运业占全球二氧化碳排放量的3%，国际海事组织(IMO)为减少这些排放设定了雄心勃勃的目标。拟议的项目将有助于处理即将出台的与环境可持续性有关的法规，并有助于减轻气候变化的影响。这符合为该部门的一项重大战略任务作出贡献的资金竞争要求。

The proposed project seeks to develop the manufacturing process and standards for a novel wind propulsion system (AirWing(tm)) for manufacture specifically in the Liverpool region. GT Green Technologies (GT), lead organisation is a Liverpool based company and the project seeks to setup the foundations for a sustainable, safe and resilient manufacturing process within the Liverpool region, contributing to net zero and resource efficiency in the shipping industry.AirWing is a novel and unique wind propulsion technology that utilises wind power to reduce the fuel consumption and hence carbon emissions of vessels it is fitted to. The device can be retrofit or fitted to newbuild vessels to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. The device can be used in combination with alternative fuels to produce a zero emission vessel with much reduced operational costs. The project aligns with the competitions aim of supporting outstanding innovation projects lead by business that contribute to a sustainable, safe, advanced, agile and resilient manufacturing sector.The project will help address Liverpool's Freeport net zero objectives . The project will also establish a net zero and resource efficient supply chain and manufacturing process through development of manufacturing processes and supply chain in the Liverpool region focused on these topics.By developing manufacturing links in the Liverpool innovation cluster, the project will grow the regions expertise in advanced manufacturing and materials. It will enhance Liverpool's reputation as a hub for innovation and attract new investments and business to the region. The project will also create new job opportunities and drive economic growth by fostering collaboration between local businesses, universities and research institutions. This aligns with the finding competition goals of contributing to growing these particular areas in the cluster.Moreover, by developing a novel wind propulsion systems manufacturing capability in the Liverpool region, the project will contribute to the wider ESG and political challenges faced by the shipping industry. The shipping industry accounts for up to 3% global CO2 emissions and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has set ambitious targets for reducing these emissions. The proposed project will help to address incoming regulations related to environmental sustainability and contribute to mitigating the impacts of climate change. This aligns with the funding competitions requirements to contribute to one of the sectors major strategic imperatives.
