Maritime Innovation Flagship Programme: Future Fuels Blueprint
The maritime sector faces several challenges in transitioning to net zero fuel use. Joined up decarbonisation planning across key stakeholder groups is needed to enable the successful adoption of future fuels.
Connected Places Catapult has responded to areas of future fuel uncertainty highlighted by maritime partners, industry experts and academics. This future fuel blueprint aims to accelerate the transition to future fuel adoption by producing a pathway to 2050 for UK ports and harbours, as well as the vessel owners and operators that call there. This is a generic case intended to foster collaboration between key actors and decision makers across different groups, by providing greater visibility of wider activities needed. The next step would be to tailor this blueprint to a specific port/harbour, and relevant vessel owners and operators, to support bespoke planning and cross-collaboration.
This interactive future fuels blueprint includes a description of considered fuels, changes in regulation, and a timeline to 2050 for three different operation complexity levels. This outlines fuel related activities needed to enable net zero, including quick wins, enabling studies, enabling technologies and fuel adoption.
