The maritime industry is under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with global decarbonisation targets. In this context, the project investigates the feasibility of integrating fuel cell (FC) technology into marine vessels as a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based propulsion. Fuel cells are particularly well...

Reliability and availability of shipping vessels is critical to quality of life and impacts significantly on cost of goods consumed globally. This is because the maritime industry is responsible for 90% of global trade, hence disruptions in maritime service impacts the way we live and how much we pay for our goods. Until now, it has been difficult to pred...

This project is a lifecycle feasibility study for Scottish Enterprise by evaluating the technical and commercial possibilities of using 'hydrogen' for zero emission ferries. While offering the roadmap for lifecycle low carbon shipping, it will propose optimal solutions for sustainable economy growth and the competitiveness. This project will produce highl...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from maritime transport is estimated at around 1 Bn ton of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2 eq.) accounting for 3% of global anthropogenic emissions (IMO 2020). Emissions need to be cut by 50% up to 2050 to meet the Paris agreements (IMO 2020). Automation and digitisation have gained significant traction as enablers of greate...
