RESHIP

Our Research Aims RESHIP is a three year Project that aims at enhancing energy efficiency performance and at addressing the current challenges for hydrogen usage onboard, including high energy demand, abrupt power spikes, demanding energy storage requirements. The specific and measurable objectives are listed as below. Mission RESHIP is an extraordinarily ambitious project which involves complex research and developement challenges and revolutionary technologies to address the target of zero emission for future shipping. The project ultimate ambition is to achieve a minimum overall 35% energy saving and to half the hydrogen storage demands on space and/or on weight comparing to the state-of-the-art hydrogen powered vessels, so that to enable a paradigm shift of hydrogen usage onboard. Under the framework of Zero Emission Waterborne Transport (ZEWT), hydrogen as the future fuel for ships with the booming renewable energy industry offers the opportunity to formulate a self-sustainable zero-emission water energy ecosystem. With new technologies bringing drastic changes for ship design, manufacturing, operation and infrastructure, both new and existing vessels are facing challenges to accommodate the revolutionary changes.
