Ports are a significant component of the UK economy, contributing £7.5 billion annually and supporting around 119,000 jobs across the country. Despite anticipated deployment of alternative fuels at ports, their total electricity demand is to increase significantly by 2050\. The UK's Department for Transport estimates that total annual electricity demand at UK ports will rise from 20GWh in 2016 to around 250GWh by 2050, with shore power contributing to 200GWh of demand. Further, emissions at birth represent ~16% of ships' carbon emissions, 13% of NOx and 11% of PM10\. The vision of Forth Ports is to create Scotland's largest renewable hub, reducing carbon footprint and the footprint of ship owners. The port aims to re-industrialise central Scotland and bring up to 50,000 high-quality green jobs. The port is expected to see an increase in vessels, including a 50% rise in cruise ships, with significant economic benefits to the UK. Thus, power demand and need for decarbonisation at ports represents a major challenge and opportunity to the maritime sector.Following on from a successfully delivered Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 2 feasibility study, HyBunk, Targe Towing (Forth Ports subsidiary) will partner with Waterwhelm, Logan Energy and PlusZero to deliver a state-of-the-art demonstrator system at the Port of Leith for the production of hydrogen for shore power. Seafield wastewater treatment works (WWTW) is situated immediately next to Port of Leith and is where Waterwhelm has its low carbon footprint, waste heat powered forward osmosis technology for water re-use and desalination. Waterwhelm will use treated wastewater from Seafield WWTW, that is ordinarily ejected into the sea, combined with waste heat from PlusZero's zero emissions hydrogen internal combustion engine (HICE) generator to produce freshwater for Logan Energy's electrolyser for hydrogen production. The produced hydrogen will be used in PlusZero's HICE generator to produce on-demand electricity for shore power at peak times as an alternative to the fossil fuel (diesel) powered generators. This will re-establish the Port of Leith as a renewable hub for new innovative technologies for the maritime sector. The use of waste heat from PlusZero's HICE and treated wastewater from WWTW for the process is a circular economy, zero waste approach that shows how technologies and adjacent industries can support each other to efficiently produce hydrogen for decarbonisation of ports and contribute to the UK net-zero goals.

港口是英国经济的重要组成部分，每年贡献75亿英镑，并在全国各地支持119,000个工作岗位。尽管预计在港口部署了替代燃料，但它们的总电力需求将在2050年大幅增加。英国运输部估计，英国港口的年度电力需求总数将从2016年的20GWH上升到到2050年的250GWH，岸电力造成了200GWH的需求。此外，出生时的排放量占船舶排放量的约16％，NOX的13％和11％的PM10 \。第四港口的愿景是创建苏格兰最大的可再生枢纽，减少碳足迹和船东的足迹。该港口旨在重新工业化苏格兰中部，并带来多达50,000个高质量的绿色工作岗位。预计该港口将看到船只的增加，包括邮轮上升50％，对英国的经济利益有了重大利益。这是港口脱碳的需求和需求是海上行业的一个主要挑战和机会。从成功的交付清洁海上示威竞赛第2轮可行性研究，Hybunk，Targe Towing（Forth Ports子公司）将与WaterWhelm，Logan Energy和Logan Energy和Pluser for The-Art Foregent porder for Shore for Shore Porter Port the Leforth port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port port， Seafield废水处理厂（wwtw）位于Leith港口旁边，是Waterwhelm的碳足迹低的地方，浪费热的前进渗透技术可用于水重复使用和脱盐。 WaterWhelm将使用Seafield WWTW处理过的废水，该废水通常被弹入大海，再加上Pluszero的零排放氢内部组合发动机（HICE）发电机的废热，以生产Logan Energy的Electrolyser淡水，以产生氢生产。生产的氢将在Pluszero的Hice发电机中使用，以在高峰时段产生按需电力，以替代化石燃料（柴油）动力发电机。这将重新建立Leith港，作为海事领域新创新技术的可再生枢纽。在此过程中，使用Pluszero的HICE和从WWTW处理过的废水的废热是一种循环经济，零废物方法表明技术和相邻行业如何相互支持，以有效地生产氢，以脱碳，并为英国净目标做出贡献。
