Funding secured for UK's first hydrogen injection system on a commercial ferry

摘要

The European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney has been granted ￡40,332 of funding from Innovate UK to design and integrate a hydrogen/diesel dual-fuel injection system for a commercial ferry. The hydrogen to be used in the project will be produced by EMEC from the abundance of renewable-energy sources available on the islands; it will power a ferry operating between Kirkwall and the island of Shapinsay. The 12-month HyDIME (Hydrogen Diesel Injection in a Marine Environment) project will provide a stepping stone to de-risk and kick-start future hydrogen marine projects.
