The first ever green submarine study has been바카라 사이트¯named바카라 사이트¯as바카라 사이트¯one of바카라 사이트¯55 winning projects of a £23 million government-funded R&D competition, announced today (15 September 2021) by Transport Secretary바카라 사이트¯Grant Shapps,바카라 사이트¯in Greenwich, as part of the greenest ever London International Shipping Week.바카라 사이트¯â¿’¯
The , announced바카라 사이트¯as part of the Prime Minister바카라 사이트™s 10 point plan for green industrial revolution, is supporting the바카라 사이트¯development of바카라 사이트¯innovative technology바카라 사이트¯to propel the바카라 사이트¯government바카라 사이트™s commitment to have바카라 사이트¯zero바카라 사이트¯emission바카라 사이트¯ships바카라 사이트¯operating바카라 사이트¯commercially바카라 사이트¯by 2025 바카라 사이트“바카라 사이트¯creating hundreds of highly skilled jobs across the nation바카라 사이트¯and establishing바카라 사이트¯the UK as world leaders in clean maritime.
A fully automated net positive submarine fleet, powered entirely on green hydrogen, could help cleanse the oceans of toxic pollution by collecting microplastics on its pilot route between Glasgow and Belfast. While transporting cargo shipments, the fleet could secure significant emission savings of 27 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the first year of operation, with an overall mission to reduce 300 million tonnes of CO2 emissions as the fleet grows.
Also among the winners is an all-electric바카라 사이트¯charge-point바카라 사이트¯connected to an offshore바카라 사이트¯wind turbine.바카라 사이트¯The바카라 사이트¯charge-points will be able to power바카라 사이트¯boats using 100% renewable energy바카라 사이트¯generated from the turbine. This offers potential savings of up to 131,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions a year 바카라 사이트“ the equivalent of removing over 62,000 cars from our roads.
Similar to roadside electric vehicle chargepoints, these will be operated by바카라 사이트¯semi-automated control, meaning that sailors can moor up by the wind turbine chargepoint, plug in, charge up, then sail on.
Announcing the winners in Greenwich, the heart of British maritime, on the state-of-the-art Royal Navy ship, HMS Albion, the Transport Secretary outlined how this is the바카라 사이트¯latest in a string of government initiatives aimed at바카라 사이트¯cutting emissions in the sector바카라 사이트¯as part of London International Shipping Week바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트“바카라 사이트¯including joining other nations in supporting a world-leading absolute zero target for international shipping emissions by 2050.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said:바카라 사이트¯
As a proud island nation built on our maritime prowess, it is only right that we lead by example when it comes to decarbonising the sector and building back greener.바카라 사이트¯â¿’¯
The projects announced today showcase the best of British innovation, revolutionising바카라 사이트¯existing바카라 사이트¯technology바카라 사이트¯and infrastructure to slash바카라 사이트¯emissions, create jobs and바카라 사이트¯get us another step closer to our decarbonisation targets.
This comes as Maritime Minister Robert Courts supports the opening of the UK바카라 사이트™s greenest cruise terminal. The Horizon Cruise Terminal at the Port of Southampton, Europe바카라 사이트™s leading cruise turnaround port, is the first of its kind, using an innovative mix of solar panel roofing and clean energy shore power plug-in charging for ships 바카라 사이트“ pioneering the way towards greener cruising.
Maritime Minister Robert Courts said:바카라 사이트¯
As the cruising sector바카라 사이트¯bounces back from the pandemic, it바카라 사이트™s important that our environmental commitments are at the heart of everything we do.바카라 사이트¯
Building state-of-the-art green infrastructure at cruise terminals helps us move towards cleaner cruising, creating more spaces for these ships to dock and putting us on track to hit net zero by 2050.바카라 사이트¯
Maritime UK chair Sarah Kenny said:
We have always been an island of maritime pioneers and today바카라 사이트™s competition shows this will long continue with potential to rule the green waves of the future.
Through increased investment and closer collaboration with government our industry can rise to the challenge of steering the UK바카라 사이트™s vessels in a green direction.
We still have a very long way to go, but today marks an important step towards our journey to net zero.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Oceanways, Dhruv Boruah, said:
We would like to thank our Transport Secretary Grant Shapps MP for selecting Oceanways to support the Department for Transport바카라 사이트™s mission to decarbonise shipping and aid our Prime Minister바카라 사이트™s commitment to build back better. Time is running out and it is imperative we don바카라 사이트™t settle for 1% more efficiency in an existing system, but instead, radically rethink to create innovative solutions.
It바카라 사이트™s not just #JetZero. Oceanways has assembled a world-class team to pioneer #SubZero by creating the new market of net positive underwater transport systems with zero-emission cargo submarines as an innovative tool to decarbonise shipping and clean up our ocean.
Paul Cairns, Managing Director of MJR Power & Automation, said:
We are delighted to have been selected as one of the winners of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, which will enable us to demonstrate our world-leading technology for offshore charging of vessels, and our commitment to supporting decarbonisation of marine operations.
The support of DfT and InnovateUK is crucial to delivering net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and we are proud to be recipients of their support.
Simon Edmonds, Deputy Executive Chair and Chief Business Officer, Innovate UK, said:
As the UK prepares to host COP26 in the maritime city of Glasgow, it is great that we can announce funding for these fantastic projects in the marine sector that will help the UK meet its net zero goals.
From this competition we saw a very high level of demand, we have seen the very best of British ideas from all over the country. It is clear that not only does the UK have a great maritime history, but also a bright and greener future, too.
The initiatives follow on from the government바카라 사이트™s previous commitments outlined in the world-leading Transport decarbonisation plan바카라 사이트¯to explore the establishment of a dedicated function for creating zero-emission shipbuilding and R&D for autonomous vessel sailings under the function of UK Shore.바카라 사이트¯
Based in DfT, UK Shore will unlock the necessary industry investment in clean maritime technologies, tackling supply- and demand-side barriers, as well as developing infrastructure and consumer confidence in clean maritime technologies.
