  • As part of our commitment to sustainability and the decarbonisation of the North Star fleet, we are always actively looking at what the future holds for green fuelling and energy and the best use of those in an offshore environment. We're pleased to be working on the NAVHYS Project with a consortium of partner companies and institutes to explore and drive decarbonisation forwards. Speaking about the project Innovation and Renewables Director Andrew Duncan said: "We are delighted to be partnering with the consortium of specialists to specifically explore LH2, and in particular how to refuel, store and use it in a marine environment where the operational requirements lean to fuels versus batteries and electricity. We don’t believe that there is a 'one size fits all' approach to green fuels and through our technical partnerships we can explore the options available so that we can ensure we are providing the best possible solutions for our clients." #decarbonisation #hydrogen #sustainability #greenfuels

    We know a thing or two about fuels for heavy-duty transport – and we’re working to make this space technology usable for shipping. 🚀 🚢 #LiquidHydrogen (LH2) has a high energy density, making it a promising solution for sustainable maritime propulsion over long distances. Plus, its combustion with oxygen produces only water as a by-product. However, since LH2 needs to be maintained at the extremely low temperature of -253°C, the severe constraints of cooling and insulating appropriate cryogenic systems presents a huge technological challenge. That’s why we are coordinating the European NAVHYS project with a consortium of partner companies and institutes. The goal: to develop innovative and safe solutions for on-board LH2 maritime storage and fuel systems, with an initial project to equip a Service Operation Vessel serving offshore wind farms. 🌊 This collaborative project combines our expertise in transporting, storing and using sensitive fuels with our partners’ knowledge from various fields – including shipbuilding, vessel operations, energy and safety – to meet maritime requirements and drive the #Decarbonisation of #Shipping. Supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and co-funded by the European Union, NAVHYS will set important milestones over the next 36 months as we work to develop and test this cutting-edge system. It’s time to boost Liquid Hydrogen! 🇪🇺 ➡️ Read more on our website: https://lnkd.in/euXmbgPu Stay tuned for updates on how we are shaping the future of maritime transportation! #Innovation #Hydrogen #RocketMakers #SpaceIndustry #WorkInSpace North Star VARD ENGIE INERIS RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Bureau Veritas | Marine & Offshore Leitat Technological Center University of Birmingham ERIG - European Research Institute for Gas and Energy Innovation AISBL Gas and Heat S.p.A Benkei Maritimes Cluster Norddeutschland e.

  • ⚡️🔬💡Inspiring the Next Generation of Green Innovators! Will your imagination change the world? That was the challenge set for South Tyneside pupils through the Little Inventors competition – delivered in collaboration with Dogger Bank Wind Farm and South Tyneside Council. Yesterday we got to celebrate the competition winner Harris Henderson, aged 10 from Sea View Primary School Harris wowed us all with his invention, ‘Hi Fish’ – a solar powered floating camera designed to monitor marine life and coral reef health without harming the environment. As the winner of the challenge, we brought his idea to life and presented Harris with a 3D model created using his design before stepping aboard the Grampian Derwent to see leading maritime technology and innovation in action and experience how the wind farm crew live whilst at sea. Joined by his Dad – Andrew Henderson, Steve Myers MBA, Cllr Margaret Meling – lead member of economic growth and transport, Equinor’s Tom Nightingale MCIM and Kay Doragh, Little Inventors – Dominic Wilcox and South Tyneside Councils Representatives – Alex Whelan and Lyndsey Gilmartin. At North Star we are committed to inspiring the next generation of engineers, innovators and sustainability champions. Well done, Harris! We can’t wait to see what you invent next 👏🏻 #RenewableEnergy #DoggerBank #FutureInnovators
