This is part of the\u00a0national priority of achieving net-zero by 2050.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The seven-month\u00a0DCFP\u00a0project will be utilising the University\u2019s expertise\u00a0in sustainability, cost-analysis,\u00a0optimisation\u00a0and economic development to investigate decarbonisation options and optimising energy demands to see how net-zero energy can be supplied to ferry vessels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project, which is part of a \u00a320 million programme funded by the Department for Transport, will support the delivery of the Port of Dover Air Quality Action Plan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, Port of Dover vessels spend energy through in-harbour activity, open\u00a0sailing\u00a0and on-vessel services (such as heating, lighting and hospitality). Some vessels are hybrid; self-charging on-board batteries whilst in open sailing and then using the battery charge whilst in-harbour.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project will analyse how much net-zero energy can be stored and delivered in-harbour, to\u00a0accelerate the adoption of hybrid or fully electric propulsion vessels in the Short Straits (Dover to Calais and Dunkirk) ferry fleet. Insights gained may then have the potential to extend to cruise and\u00a0cargo operators, as well as adaptation of experienced vessels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
