This project seeks to eliminate GHG emissions for vessels by carrying out pre- deployment trials of a novel ultra-efficient Shoreside Power from Optimised Hydrogen Lifecycle (SPOHL) system for cold-ironing with long-duration, bulk energy storage to balance the seasonal variation in renewable energy systems. The project targets the specific themes of "shoreside storage and bunkering of low and zero carbon fuel" and "charging infrastructure and management for electric vessels" , "shore power solutions, such as enabling docked vessels to turn off their conventional power supply for ancillary systems" , "shoreside renewable energy generation at the port to supply vessels" , and "low carbon fuel production, such as hydrogen, methanol, ammonia" . This project will solve critical challenges of providing flexible, reliable, resilient, highly varying electrical power supply to vessels and port infrastructure for docked vessels rather than having them powered by onboard auxiliary and main diesel or carbon producing combustion engines. The project aims to showcase the best possible end-to-end electrical and cost efficiency basis for the use of hydrogen as a medium to long-term energy flow pathway, in part through lab demonstration of best-in-class hydrogen production, storage and conversion technologies (as above) but also through analysis and optimisation of potential energy flow scenarios underpinned by data collection at a number of ports (including but not limited to Belfast, Felixstowe, Rochester).

Thanks to the commercial availability of future fuel technologies, as well as innovative Energy Saving Devices (ESDs) which are driving a reduction of power required for ships, it is now realistic to design a zero-emission vessel that is ready for adoption by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Industry. This industry requires additional, more versatile & emission-free vessels to keep up with the growing workload, increasingly varying work scopes, and to help the industry move closer to realising the goals of the Clean Maritime Plan, Operation Zero, and other COP26 targets. This project aims to design and plan for the construction of a zero-emission Offshore Service Vessel, that has the versatility to perform services over multiple sectors of the ORE & aquaculture industries, (e.g., maintenance, research surveys, installation, decommissioning, crew transfer etc.).

ReCharged is a transformative project that has the vision to develop a new integrated framework toward a practical visualisation platform in order to optimise and streamline climate resilience and whole-life carbon emission assessments for interdependent Transport and Energy Systems, Lifelines and Assets (iTESLA). To achieve this, ReCharged harnesses the power of digital technologies and data to quantify the functionality and recovery of iTESLA after hazards. This is in response to the lack of methods of assessment and communicable visualisations of consolidated climate resilience and whole-life carbon emission metrics for iTESLA. ReCharged will account for interdependencies that lead to failure propagation in transport and energy systems, to accelerate post-hazard recovery, mitigate losses and societal ramifications due to climate change. In doing so, ReCharged underpins synergies and participatory decision-making to combat siloed thinking in infrastructure management. This project will lead to 50% faster decision-making in iTESLA management, 50% reduction of carbon emissions for the two case studies analysed, create new jobs, and make Europeans fit for the Digital Age. ReCharged is a synergy that combines the exchange of interdisciplinary knowledge and tailored training of staff, through an alliance between leading academic institutions, industrial partners, SMEs, and a research and technology center. All beneficiaries are committed to exploiting and transferring their skills and knowledge, to incentivise data-driven resilience toward climate adaptation and reduce emissions in critical infrastructure. ReCharged will augment researchers' skills and career perspectives, create a community of practitioners, improve critical infrastructure, and ultimately make people feel safer

The aim of this project is to increase welfare of low-income population in Southeast Turkey by achieving savings in the distribution network that serves them. This will come from digitalizing the energy systems and decreasing power losses. It will allow more renewable energy installations, leading to long term economic benefits.

The 24-month collaborative project, funded under the Newton Fund Institutional Links route with Turkey, will bring together research teams from the UK and Turkey to extend new knowledge, specifically in the field of additive manufacturing and rheological optimisation of raw materials that are tailored for 3D printing. The project ambition is to develop an understanding of material science to manufacture complex microarchitectures that will be produced using Material Extrusion as an Additive Manufacturing process. Calcium phosphate cement will be utilised and its physical properties will be engineered.
