The maritime sector is responsible for 3% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and substantial air pollutants (including NOx and SOx), which can have serious impacts on human health. Ports concentrate these emissions into small areas, with up to 15% of all emissions from the maritime sector taking place at these vital logistical hubs. Existing solut...

Our project, known as REACT (Real-world Evidence for Adoption of Clean Technologies) is a 7-month collaborative pre-deployment project that will deliver an AI and data driven capability to accelerate electric vessel and clean tech adoption in the commercial small boat sector. **The partners in this project have first-hand experience of the nervousness aro...

The **TURBO-METH project** aims to validate and demonstrate a fully integrated renewable methanol production and utilisation solution tailored for maritime applications. It represents a collaboration led by **PuriFire Energy**, with participation from **HyperGen**, **Newcastle University**, **Shoreham Port, ORE Catapault, X-Press Feeders, and Associated B...

Ports are complex and always on, causing many to rely on antiquated, rigid systems that create significant wasted resources and pollution. IntelliSense.io Ltd and Associated British Ports (ABP) are working together to apply IntelliSense.io's technology solutions in Port Optimisation processes for the first time. This Technical and Economic assessment stud...

Globally, 90% of everything we consume is moved by sea and the shipping industry emits around 1 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, representing about 3% of total emissions. The industry is under intense pressure to reduce emissions, but remains behind in the use of data-driven, real-time analytics to improve and streamline operations. The accurate allocation...

The decarbonisation of the marine sector is likely to drive a substantial surge in national electrical demand. The sector has a critical role in UK economy and supporting island communities, but is also complex, with huge diversity across ports and their stakeholders. Seeking to address this challenge, SeaChange will: \*build a replicable, localised model...

With governments across the world committing to environmental targets, global installed offshore wind capacity is expected to reach 630GW by 2050 (McKinsey & Company). An estimated 80% of global offshore wind resource is in waters too deep for current fixed bottom foundations (Global Wind Energy Council, 2022). The Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) market is ...

Since the first known examples of grain storage dating back to ~11,000 years ago in the Jordan valley, the process of storing grain (e.g. whole wheat/barley/oilseeds in sheds and silos) has been a critical part of the agriculture industry, essential to preserving the grain's quality and value, as well as to bridge the gap between harvest and its subsequen...

Our vision for the future of UK infrastructure encompasses fleets of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) powered by renewable energy to deliver more efficient applications and processes in high cost areas such as search and rescue and highway maintenance, whilst reducing the economic impact currently caused by interruptions such as road closures. Additionally...

The project will conduct a high-quality feasibility study that, informing a business case for infrastructure-investment in Zero-Emission(ZE) Fuels/charging-infrastructure at the Port of Grimsby, at the same time as investment in operational programmes of work that will establish Grimsby as a national Clean Maritime Demonstration Hub (CMDH). Commercial eth...

The project is a collaboration between Associated British Ports (ABP), Siemens Energy UK (SEU), Toyota Tsusho UK (TTUK), Uniper Technologies UK (UTL) and Uniper Hydrogen UK (UHU), to realise the potential of a green hydrogen supply to the Port of Immingham (PoI) for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction of port operations and shipping. Thereby, a solution for GH...

The South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC) is a diverse mix of critical industry from the Pembrokeshire coastline to the Welsh/English border. They have converged with common objectives for decarbonisation and clean growth. Some of the sectors represented include: §Steel making§Oil Refining§Power§Nickel manufacturing§Insulation manufacturing§Chemical§LNG i...
