Description

As the maritime sector moves towards low greenhouse gas (GHG) solutions, there will be a growing need for new port infrastructure to facilitate the storage and transfer of alternative energy vectors, such as ammonia, e-methanol and electric charging. One option is the Floating Fuel Depot™, a moored barge that delivers alternative marine fuels and electric charging at locations close to points of demand. While supplementing existing port provision, the Floating Fuel Depot™ concept will reduce emissions, promote the use of low GHG vessels and offer benefits to local communities.
In this talk Nigel Robinson, Offshore Renewables Director, and Project Engineers Mario Bovero and Craig Shepherd from Apollo will present the concept and its development under Innovate UK’s Clean Maritime Demonstration competition, from a blank canvas to a feasible concept and commercialization in time for the future wave of ScotWind developments.We will meet at 6pm for refreshments prior to the presentation beginning at 6.30pm.
