ORE Catapult and the Workboat Association to Consider Key Areas for Technology Innovation
Written by AZoCleantechDec 10 2020
The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and the Workboat Association (WA) have been selected by UK Government to develop a Technology Roadmap, outlining a route to the decarbonisation of North Sea offshore wind operations and maintenance (O&M) vessels.
The roadmap will consider key areas such as vessels, ports, and alternative fuels. The Department for Transport (DfT) and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) are funding this research and an accompanying industry engagement programme – both in the UK and Europe - ahead of the UK Government hosting COP26, due to take place in November 2021 in Glasgow.
