This techno-economic feasibility study explores the potential to bring a breakthrough clean fuel production technology to market which has the potential to deliver significant decarbonisation to the UK's maritime activities.The study will focus initially on Orkney and Belfast as test locations for installing the clean fuel production and distribution systems. Both areas have access to significant renewable sources, but also cover a diverse range of vessel related activities, which will ensure that the outcomes are replicable across the UK.The main aims of this project are to complete a techno-economic feasibility study to determine the commercial viability of:* Production of e-diesel and bio-diesel for the maritime sector* Use of e-diesel on marine vessels to displace fossil fuel use* Use of bio-diesel to supply port-side equipmentThis study will determine the benefits and challenges to producing e-diesel using CATAGEN's E-FUEL GEN technology and direct air capture (DAC) technologies to decarbonise typical marine vessel fuel demand while enabling continued use of bunkering and fuel infrastructure.This work will be supported by Belfast Harbour, EMEC, Orkney Islands Council, Highlands Fuels to provide specialist knowledge and information to support development of a robust and holistic decarbonisation solution that is applicable across the UK and can be exported globally.Successful completion of the study will demonstrate how e-diesel and bio-diesel can be used to decarbonise the maritime sector and supporting infrastructure whilst enabling continued use of existing propulsion systems, fuel storage and handling equipment, and health and safety regulations. The study will show how this removes several of the barriers to adoption of decarbonisation technologies such as retrofitting/upgrading of existing assets, unproven or lacking infrastructure capability and undefined or absent regulation and subsidy frameworks.The project will use data including, local renewable energy generation potential, fuel demand profiles, and fuel infrastructure information provided by project partners to determine how CATAGEN technology can accelerate decarbonisation of maritime activities at partner ports, and show how this can be replicated across the UK maritime sector. Additionally, the study will provide a set of recommendations for how the knowledge and understanding gained can be used to develop a demonstration project and how it can be replicated across other UK ports.

这项技术经济可行性研究探讨了将突破性清洁燃料生产技术推向市场的潜力，该技术有可能为英国的海事活动带来显着的脱碳效果。该研究首先将重点放在奥克尼群岛和贝尔法斯特作为安装清洁燃料的测试地点生产和分销系统。这两个地区都可以获得重要的可再生能源，而且还涵盖各种与船舶相关的活动，这将确保成果可以在英国各地复制。该项目的主要目标是完成技术经济可行性研究，以确定商业可行性：* 为海事部门生产电子柴油和生物柴油* 在船舶上使用电子柴油来取代化石燃料的使用* 使用生物柴油供应港口设备本研究将确定效益和使用电子柴油生产面临的挑战CATAGEN 的 E-FUEL GEN 技术和直接空气捕获 (DAC) 技术可降低典型船舶燃料需求的碳含量，同时能够继续使用加油和燃料基础设施。这项工作将得到贝尔法斯特港、EMEC、奥克尼群岛理事会、Highlands Fuels 的支持，以提供专业知识和信息，以支持开发适用于英国并可出口到全球的强大而全面的脱碳解决方案。该研究的成功完成将展示电子柴油和生物柴油如何用于使海事部门和支持基础设施脱碳，同时能够继续使用现有的推进系统、燃料储存和处理设备以及健康和安全法规。该研究将展示如何消除采用脱碳技术的一些障碍，例如现有资产的改造/升级、未经证实或缺乏基础设施能力以及未定义或缺乏的监管和补贴框架。该项目将使用包括当地可再生能源发电在内的数据潜力、燃料需求概况以及项目合作伙伴提供的燃料基础设施信息，以确定 CATAGEN 技术如何加速合作伙伴港口海事活动的脱碳，并展示如何在整个英国海事部门复制这一技术。此外，该研究还将提供一系列建议，说明如何利用所获得的知识和理解来开发示范项目以及如何在英国其他港口进行复制。
