Ecomar Propulsion Ltd aim to assess the technical feasibility to develop UK manufactured green propulsion systems for rapid adoption by commercial ship operators and emergency services worldwide. The project aims to provide solutions to rapidly electrify and de-carbonise highly polluting marine engines and to deliver new opportunities for British innovation. By creating products that convert fossil fuelled engines to electric power, we aim to maximise the advantages of a change to a green economy and push towards a net zero carbon shipping industry. Defining the most productive and cost-effective use of British innovations and providing rapid routes to change, will stimulate growth in high value tourism, engineering and manufacturing jobs to replace those lost due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The project will help to develop the wider UK "Green" supply chain in an increasingly dynamic sector. Lessons learned from this study will have applications in tourism, automotive and industrial adoption of electric and non-polluting propulsion systems that will offset carbon pollution and job losses. It forms a critical change of emphasis from fossil fuelled economies to a green economy. Project outputs will lead to development of Phase 2 prototypes and manufacturing activity, based on the feasibility platforms for large fleet owners in collaboration with Ecomar. This project provides industry with robust metrics directing its emission reduction choices. We aim to utilise the results to develop intellectual property, new products and progress the TRL and MRL levels as quickly as possible in preparation for full-scale manufacture and commercialisation.

Ecomar Propulsion Ltd 旨在评估开发英国制造的绿色推进系统的技术可行性，以供全球商业船舶运营商和紧急服务部门快速采用。该项目旨在提供快速电气化和脱碳高污染船用发动机的解决方案，并为英国创新提供新机遇。通过创造将化石燃料发动机转换为电力的产品，我们的目标是最大限度地发挥绿色经济变革的优势，推动航运业实现净零碳排放。定义英国创新的最高效和最具成本效益的使用方式并提供快速变革路线，将刺激高价值旅游业、工程和制造业就业岗位的增长，以取代因 Covid-19 大流行而失去的就业岗位。该项目将有助于在日益活跃的行业中发展更广泛的英国“绿色”供应链。从这项研究中吸取的经验教训将应用于旅游业、汽车和工业领域，采用电力和无污染的推进系统，以抵消碳污染和失业。它形成了从化石燃料经济到绿色经济的重大转变。项目成果将基于与 Ecomar 合作为大型车队所有者提供的可行性平台，推动第二阶段原型的开发和制造活动。该项目为行业提供了强有力的指标来指导其减排选择。我们的目标是利用这些成果来开发知识产权、新产品，并尽快提高 TRL 和 MRL 水平，为全面生产和商业化做好准备。
