“We believe that developing a hydrogen economy within Scotland and the greater UK is essential for decarbonising transportation and energy production. Innovate UK has provided £430,000 ($565,000) in funding to help power a ferry between the mainland of Orkney and the island of Shapinsay using a combination of hydrogen and diesel. The Hydrogen Diesel Injection in a Marine Environment project, which will be led by Ferguson Marine Engineering and is expected to take a year to complete, will involve designing and integrating a hydrogen diesel dual-fuel injection system using renewable energy generated for the island of Eday. A new research vessel called the Ocean Voyager was launched on Tuesday at Govan Shipbuilders in Glasgow.
