    The marine industry faces the double challenge of rising fuel costs and tightening emissions standards, including carbon emissions. The GLEAMS project is developing technology with which marine vessels can achieve the very highest standards of sulphur and Nox emissions, slash their carbon emissions, and reduce costs simultaneously. It does this by allowing vessels to burn a widely available but under-used fuel, glycerol, in conventional marine diesel engines, requiring only modest additional equipment that can be easily retro-fitted. Glycerol is produced as a by-product of biofuel production. As biofuel capacity increases, the amount of glycerol produced also increases. The marine industry is ideally-placed to exploit this resource: not only is the non-toxic and non-volatile nature of glycerol highly valuable in a marine environment, but also the relatively low energy content of glycerol can be easily accommodated in the hull space of many vessel types. At present, the technology for GLEAMS is being deployed into the constructuction sector in the form of combined heat & power plant. The project will marinise this technology and explore how it can best be adapted to meet marine safety & environmental requirements. It will also initiate new consortia, led by end users such as offshore wind farm operators, to steer the subsequent development into market-ready products.

    Public description Portsmouth International Port is a medium-sized port, serving both ferries and container ships. It is located adjacent to Portsmouth city centre, where traffic to and from the port contributes to the city's air quality problem. Like many other cities, Portsmouth suffers from congestion which is getting worse. Many of the commercial vehicles involved are operating at very low capacity utilisation, which results in many more vehicles on the road. Advanced information system can offer a potential solution to this challenge. They can allow freight (from full containers down to individual consignments) to be tracked and processed seamlessly which allows vehicles to be operated more efficiently. The city council is also proposing to create consolidation centres which would allow freight movements to be optimised, and to move containers from the port to outside the city with zero-emissions. These centres will need to be fully integrated into the wider maritime logistics network. The SpacePort project aims to develop a pilot system to achieve this integration. It is led by marine sector specialist Marine South East (MSE) who are teaming up with the Connected Places Catapult (CPC). This cross-sector partnership will research and develop a solution to this challenge, based around smart application of geospatial data resources. MSE has a long track record in delivering successful, innovative projects and is currently working with Portsmouth International Port to pilot a smart port energy system. The project team will work closely with the port and Portsmouth City Council, to ensure that the solution meets the needs of the port and its customers whilst also delivering much-needed improvements to the quality of life within the city.

    The UFO project is based on two main assumptions. First, business opportunities lie in the combination of space data with digital technologies and other sources of data. Embedded Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) into small flying objects (SFOs - drones, small satellites, high altitude platforms) represent a great opportunity to collect additional aerospace data, especially to drive the Artificial Intelligence revolution for various global applications. Second, the value added applications in Europe are mostly driven by SMEs. Thus, the UFO project aims at fostering the development of cross-sectoral industrial value chains between 6 emerging industries (Mobility technologies, Environmental, Blue Growth, Digital, Experience and Cultural and Creative industries), SFOs, embedded KETs and data analysis and exploitation solutions stimulating the development of new products and services by SMEs. To achieve this, the consortium provides a systemic and strategic vision. Clusters, which gather SMEs, large groups, R&D actors, and other innovation entities, are crucial to create links between different value chains, basically the data providers and the information product providers that turn raw data into valuable information. The UFO consortium and associate partner consisting of 8 emerging industry clusters including 5 SFOs, embedded KETs, ICT clusters, representing more than 1000 SMEs throughout 6 different EU countries and sectors. The partners have the capacity to carry such actions as they will foster partnerships between the different links (their members) of value chains and provide them incentives through the launch of call for proposals providing Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) and innovation services provided by clusters. They represent some of Europe’s most dynamic clusters including Gold and Bronze labelled ones with a history of cooperation, a track record of supporting innovation actions for SMEs.

    MarLEN (Maritime Low Emission Network) will be a partnership of European ministries and funding organisations responsible for funding RTD in maritime technologies from European countries. The objective of this initiative is to strengthen the European Research Area in waterborne research by coordinating and developing synergies between national and regional maritime research programmes and policies in line with the aims of the partnership Zero Emission Waterborne Transport (ZEWT). The activities will include: exchange of information and knowledge among national programme owners and programme managers as well as the implementation of distinct joint activities. MarLEN shall further deepen, broaden and strengthen the already established transnational cooperation based on the experience gained and some existing cooperation structures. New organisations from several partner countries will broaden the network of maritime ministries and funding organisations with the knowledge of former initiatives. Lessons learnt especially from the previous MarTERA project are taken into account in this proposal, aimed at improving and intensifying the transnational cooperation and, most importantly, consolidating it in such a way that it becomes self-sustaining. Further objectives are the broadening, deepening, streamlining and strengthening of the joint activities, including strengthening the existing ongoing trans-national research to cover the whole innovation chain from science to business by launching new transnational activities. However, to fulfil the ambitions of the waterborne transport sector, it is obvious that much more research, development, innovation (RD&I) and investments will be necessary in the coming years to address and respond effectively to the current and future climate and environmental challenges, while taking into account a safe implementation of technologies and concepts.
