It specifically addresses decarbonisation of vessels through development of interconnected modular hydrogen storage and hydrogen propulsion technologies to de-risk and accelerate market adoption of marine hydrogen.

This programme also delivers technical and economic feasibility studies for a real-world demonstration of zero-emission on-vessel hydrogen storage, propulsion, and bunkering technology and hydrogen port storage and refuelling infrastructure and associated local supply chains.

Our project meets competition scope and eligibility focussing on the technical design, integration, operation and regulatory approval of several advanced high power on-vessel hydrogen technologies, so reducing the cost associated and barriers to adoption of marine hydrogen solutions.

The team are experts in their respective specialist fields with complementary technologies and experience of collaborating effectively.

A clear plan for future demonstration utilising a new generation of high efficiency Crew Transfer Vessels in partnership with Scottish Power Renewables for high volume Renewable Energy low carbon Hydrogen supply

Rux Energy's patented sorption technology is transforming hydrogen storage, and will collaborate with NCC and UNSW AMAC to develop, prototype and test marine-optimised safe, high-efficiency, low-cost advanced composite tanks.

Steamology steam turbines are zero emission, the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen only produces water without ANY Carbon, NOx, Sox or particulates

Duodrive novel propulsion technology provides the most efficient drivetrain to convert stored energy matching duty cycle demands.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
