The maritime sector is one of UK's biggest industries, supporting almost £46.1bn in Gross Value Added and more than one-million jobs. Shipping is the largest sub-sector and accounts for over **3% of the world's emissions**. The UK-SHORE estimates that reducing shipping emission **directly create 15,200 jobs and a further 58,400 jobs throughout the supply chain (73,600 total)** in the UK. **RESTORE** (Retrofittable Propulsion System for Electric Vessel with Hydrogen Range Extender) endeavors to tap into these opportunities to create new technology and market that contribute to faster emissions reduction and employment. Consequently, this collaborative demonstration project will develop, test and deploy an innovative propulsion unit using combined battery and hydrogen internal combustion engine on a UK certified Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV), The Princess Royal to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE).RESTORE will extend the operational CTV's range using scalable powering and propulsion technologies to mitigate GHG emissions at low cost. This demonstration project bring patented UK innovations that include:(1) **new battery** powering system with reduced sized (~20%) that can detect and isolate defective battery cell, prevent thermal runaway and shutdown to improve performance and safety.(2) **a proven electrolyser and compressor technology** that produces green hydrogen at 70-80% lower cost than current price, which will be used to extend the battery range through an onboard hydrogen engine.(3) **innovative hybrid hydrogen internal combustion** engine with energy management system that maximises the efficiency of hydrogen combustion and can use other clean gas fuels if hydrogen is not available to recharge the battery on board vessel.(4) a **new propeller that serves as standalone propulsion unit** (without altering existing propulsion system) to improve propulsive efficiency and reduce noise.Demonstrations to showcase emission reduction and market viability will be conducted over 40-days from **Port of Blyth** to **EDF offshore wind farms in Northeast England.**Outcomes of the project will include delivery of scalable and market ready Retrofittable Propulsion Technology, lifecycle emissions reduction and positive economic impacts in the offshore wind farm sector and beyond.This provides understanding of barriers to full market adoption and recommend solutions to identified UK supply chain opportunities and challenges.The project will disseminate outcomes to stakeholders and wider industry on key issues including time and cost for retrofitting, human elements, and IMO regulations i.e., CII, EEDI, and knowledge sharing with clean maritime.

海运业是英国最大的产业之一，创造了近 461 亿英镑的总附加值和超过 100 万个就业机会，是英国最大的子行业，占全球排放量的 **3%**。 -SHORE 估计，减少航运排放**会在英国直接创造 15,200 个就业岗位，并在整个供应链中再创造 58,400 个就业岗位（总计 73,600 个）**。 （带氢增程器的电动船可改造推进系统）致力于利用这些机会创造新技术和市场，有助于更快地减少排放和在英国认证的船员转移船（CTV）上使用组合电池和氢内燃机。 ，公主号实现净零排放 (NZE)。RESTORE 将使用可扩展的供电和扩展 CTV 的运行范围该示范项目带来了英国专利创新，包括：(1) **新型电池** 供电系统，尺寸缩小（约 20%），可以检测和隔离有缺陷的电池，防止过热。失控和关闭以提高性能和安全性。(2) **经过验证的电解槽和压缩机技术**，以比当前价格低 70-80% 的成本生产绿色氢气，这将用于通过车载氢气来扩展电池续航里程发动机。(3) **创新型混合氢内燃**发动机，配有能量管理系统，可最大限度地提高氢气燃烧效率，并且在无法为船上电池充电的情况下，可以使用其他清洁气体燃料。(4) a **用作独立推进装置的新螺旋桨**（无需改变现有推进系统），以提高推进效率并降低噪音。展示减排和市场可行性的演示将从**港口开始 40 天内进行Blyth** 至 **英格兰东北部的 EDF 海上风电场。**该项目的成果将包括交付可扩展且市场就绪的可改造推进技术、生命周期减排以及对海上风电场领域及其他领域的积极经济影响。了解全面市场采用的障碍，并针对已确定的英国供应链机遇和挑战提出解决方案。该项目将向利益相关者和更广泛的行业传播关键问题的成果，包括改造的时间和成本、人为因素和国际海事组织法规，即： CII、EEDI 以及清洁海事知识共享。
