Implementation of Ship Hybridisation

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A France - Belgium - The Netherlands - United Kingdom (Les Deux Mers / Two seas / Twee Zeeën)

Date of latest update: 2024-12-17

Description

Description (EN):

Development, testing and validation of technical tools and socio-economic models for the implementation of hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell technologies in vessels and ports, and realising development and demonstration of feasibility of these technologies by retrofitting different types of existing vessels, different kind of new built vessels and new bunkering facilities in ports in order to increase adoption likelihood of this low or zero carbon technology in a sector with high impact potential.

Achievements (EN):

ISHY has made a good start in the first period of the project (2019). All start-up documents have been delivered in time, the project/process management works well and some communication activities are realized (start conference, posters, press releases). In the 2nd year (2020) the project has made less progress. Due to COVID almost all pilot/investing partners have decided to postpone investments until they know what the impact of the virus will be on the overall economic situation and their own company. A positive aspect of this period was that companies have had more time to do more research on and rethinking of their original plans. The world of H2-shipping is only in an experimental phase. A lot of technical issues aren't solved yet and new developments are coming up almost every month. Therefor they now know much better what is possible, what they want to realise and what the real costs will be. This will lead to serious modifications in 4 of 5 pilots/investments. These changes are now worked out in detail and will lead to a proposal for a major modification to be submitted in beginning of May 2021. At that moment all investment partners will also know the new economic situation and the possibilities of their companies to invest in low carbon vessels. Because of this situation also the financial management and financial claims had serious delays. The same goes for communication; because a lot of things were/are so unsure, we decided to communicate less. Despite the COVID-crisis and the stagnation in the preparations of investments, the knowledge partners have made progress with their research activities in WP1: Output 1 is on track, output 2 has little delays, output 3 is ready, output 4 has serious delays because of changes in pilots and output 5 is fully on schedule. In WP2 research has taken place about hydrodynamic resistance of the pilot vessels and output 6 is completed. In output 7 some activities have taken place, but overall it will have serious delays. The conceptual design of the fuel cell power module (D.2.5.1 part of O8) is ready and the detailed design in progress. The cross-border cooperation proceeds well although we couldn't meet much. Knowledge partners have collaborated well on the development of tools and methods and pilot partners contributed there where needed. In the other way around, knowledge partners have supported pilot partners with preparational works. All partners make good contributions to meetings and workshops.

Delivered Outputs (EN):

The main outputs of the ISHY Projects are: ● A methodology to choose the optimum powertrain components, power rating and technologies of a hybrid vessel in order to reduce its CO2-emissions; ● A method to select the best energy management strategy given a boat configuration; ● A toolbox (business cases & carbon saving potentials) for retrofit and new build vessels of low carbon propulsion technologies; ● Guidance relating to the safe use of gaseous and/or liquefied hydrogen based on the hazards identified on risk assessment carried out; ● A risk assessment tool/model for the implementation of H2 and E-fuelling systems in ports, including a blue print of future ports-network in the 2 Seas area; ● An overall feasibility study through lab testing of the effects of changes in the hydrodynamic performance of vessels through changes in propulsion; ● An overall monitoring and test report of all retrofitted and new build vessels, removable H2 Fuel cell System and H2 bunkering facility; ● The design, development, building and testing of a 'plug and play' H2-fuel cell module to be used in various vessels; ● The development and building of a new multimode hybrid configuration by retrofitting an existing, small patrol/inspection craft; ● A new build passenger or cruise vessel with a combined or hybrid propulsion system of batteries and traditional fuel; ● A hydrogen bunkering facility in the Port of Oostende.
