Carbon Trust Works on Reducing Vessel Emissions

Wind Industry Profile of

The Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) has today launched a competition to accelerate the development of technologies with the potential to reduce vessel emissions and fuel consumption.

Up to £100,000 in funding will be awarded to the winning technologies, from a total funding pot of £300,000, to support technology development or demonstration. The OWA Low Emission Vessels competition will focus on innovations for Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs). Designs submitted to the competition will be assessed for overall cost, operations, and safety advantages to ensure they are viable solutions for offshore wind operations. Vessel designs, power and propulsion technologies as well as energy-providing systems will be considered within the scope of the... ... More: Official Press Release Carbon Trust
