Clean Tyne Shipping Corridor Project to support net zero carbon fuels methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia

Clean Tyne Shipping Corridor Project

In the UK, the Port of Tyne, working with Connected Places Catapult and partners Arup, Lloyds Register, EDF R&D UK, Newcastle University and the North East LEP, has published the results of a feasibility study looking at the decarbonisation of the maritime industry through the creation of green shipping corridors, and the adoption of scalable zero-emission energy sources.

The Clean Tyne Shipping Corridor Project – funded by the Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK as part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 2 (CMDC2) – sets out the opportunities and economic and environmental benefits of creating a new, green shipping corridor from North-East England that links the region with the European Green Corridors Network

The study also explores the current use of alternative fuels in the shipping industry, and some of the challenges the sector faces in transitioning from conventional fuels to net zero carbon fuels like methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia.
