DEADLINE FOR FINAL 2022 APPLICATIONS: 23:59 15 January 2023
According to their copy, TRIG competitions are designed to offer small amounts of funding through a (claimed to be) simple and accessible application process, the questions for which assume innovators are well managed with mature IT administrations and larger turnover - in return for a relatively small project contribution, where: proposals are expected to prove an innovative concept, progressing from TRL 2 (basic research) to TRL 4 (proof of concept/small scale prototype), for which £30k is unlikely to contribute fully for more complicated developments, given operational and accounting responsibilities, overheads, in (for example) becoming active. The Foundation has been dormant (in waiting) for several years for this very reason.
For the
TRIG 2022 programme, as well as their traditional open call,
DfT is particularly interested in solutions that address the following challenges:
SCOPE
- CHALLENGE
KEY DATES
THE AREAS WITHIN SCOPE OF THIS MARITIME DECARBONISATION TRIG CALL ARE:
• Solutions focused on large deep-sea shipping vessels only, including but not limited to cargo ships, tankers and cruise ships.
• Smart shipping technologies and automation that delivers indirect emissions savings for any size of vessel.
• Projects that focus on supporting small and medium sized ports, harbours and marinas to decarbonize their operations where they have not yet begun to do so.
• Projects focused on deep sea shipping vessels only, as the multi-year CMDC has supported so far mostly short sea shipping vessels. Deep sea vessels include but are not limited to cargo ships, tankers and cruise ships.
• Vessel propulsion (battery, fuel cell, hybrid, or engines using low carbon alternative fuels such as hydrogen, methanol or ammonia).
• Propulsion systems using internal combustion engine technology capable of using multiple fuels including zero carbon options (such as hydrogen, methanol, ammonia).
• Wind propulsion, including soft-sail, fixed-sail, rotory sails, kite and turbine technologies, targeting a range of ship types from small vessels to large cargo carriers, both as primary and auxiliary propulsion.
• On-vessel power generation and fuel production to reduce GHGs (such as wind turbines, solar panels, synthetic fuel production).
• Low carbon energy storage and management.
• Smart shipping technologies and automation that delivers indirect emissions savings for any size of vessel.
• Autonomy, digitisation and better journey efficiencies directly and indirectly, delivering quantifiable energy efficiency savings and, therefore, GHG emission reductions.
• Other
smart shipping technologies, including the control of the emission reduction
systems including but not limited to wind propulsion.
