Policy Bulletin 002: Microleaks-No-Burst Safety Technology

Maritime policy bulletin 002 covers safe hydrogen storage, which will be critical across all transport vectors as well as maritime and in refuelling stations.

This summary of the innovative Microleaks-No-Burst technology for hydrogen storage developed by our researchers Vladimir Molkov, Dmitry Makarov, & Sergii Kashkarov is a solution that would meet stringent safety requirements exceeding that for fossil fuels!

Policy Bulletin 001: Eco-ship investment and price differentials

There are insufficient financial incentives to stimulate eco-ship investment (where engines are more fuel efficient) risking missing emissions reduction targets.

In this research by Clean Maritime Research Hub’s Dr Ioannis Moutzouris and colleagues the price differentials are explored using data over recent years.

Policy recommendations include the need for:

  • Clarity and certainty around market-based measures and alternative fuels regulations
  • Green finance options to encourage investment in eco-ships
  • Fossil fuel levies to discourage conventional ship use and encourage eco-ship investment
