The UK government has unveiled a £30m funding initiative to decarbonise the shipping industry and boost local economies, particularly in Glasgow. This investment, part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, will support companies working on clean maritime fuels like hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, solar, and electric solutions. The goal is to transition towards greener shipping practices, create job opportunities, and enhance economic growth. Successful projects include electric chargepoint networks at ports, green hydrogen shore power trials, and the development of FastRig windsails to reduce emissions. The funding will also aid in the research efforts of a consortium of 13 UK universities to advance clean maritime technologies, including exploring liquid hydrogen for emission-free maritime solutions.
