Ocean-REFuel project to explore offshore wind and marine renewable energy for hydrogen and ammonia production – H2 View
Posted: at 3:42 pm
The University of Strathclyde has revealed a new 10m ($13.74m) project today (July 23) aiming to unlock the potential of harnessing offshore wind and marine renewable energy to produce zero carbon hydrogen and ammonia fuels.
The University will lead the multi-disciplinary Ocean-REFuel: Ocean Renewable Energy Fuels project which will explore ways of converting ocean energy into fuels for use in heating, energy storage and difficult to decarbonise transport applications.
Read more: The Scottish Cluster could have a hydrogen production capacity of 3.7GW by the mid 2030s, says report
Read more: Cromarty Firth ideally located for the UKs largest green hydrogen electrolyser, study says
The project consortium includes world-leading research teams from the Universities of Nottingham, Cardiff, Newcastle and Imperial College London.
The project is being funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, industry, and the partner universities, who have also pledged a total of nine linked PhD studentships.
The Ocean-REFuel project will directly address challenges associated with energy storage, renewable heat and the decarbonisation of transport such as road, marine and aviation.
Renewable energy technologies such as wind are impacted by intermittency and production issues and this project will explore storage solutions, such as hydrogen and ammonia, that can help manage the issue of intermittent supply.
The five-year collaboration, which involves 28 industrial partners, including BP, Scottish Power, National Grid, ENI along with the UK Health & Safety Executive, will also produce a blueprint for the first integrated Ocean Renewable Fuel production facility.
Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the UK Minister for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change, said, The waters around the UK offer abundant prospects for clean energy. Ensuring that we can tap the full potential of our natural resources will be vital in meeting our bold climate change commitments.
As shown through our world-leading offshore wind sector, we are not only capitalising on the clean energy potential around our coastline but also the opportunities for investment, jobs creation and regional growth.
Projects like Ocean-REFuel are helping us fulfil that potential as we build back greener.
David Duguid, UK Government Minister for Scotland, said, As Glasgow prepares to host COP26 later this year, the eyes of the world will be on the UK to show leadership, creativity and innovation in the global effort to tackle climate change.
This fantastic project, led by the University of Strathclyde, will investigate the potential our natural resources hold to generate clean energy and help achieve our net zero ambitions.

15 ScotWind Areas Attract 74 Offshore Wind Applications – Offshore WIND
Posted: at 3:42 pm
Crown Estate Scotland has received 74 applications from offshore wind developers looking to secure rights to build projects across the 15 areas of seabed available for development through the Scottish Governments Sectoral Marine Plan for Offshore Wind Energy.
The Scottish seabed manager confirmed this on 21 July, together with the timeline for next steps, including a target of making initial offers for the first option agreements to successful applicants in January 2022, with those agreements then finalised after that.
Developers will then move forward with their detailed plans and start work on various types of activities that can progress their projects. Crown Estate Scotland grants full seabed leases only once developers have all the necessary consents and planning permissions from the Scottish Government and other bodies.
Crown Estate Scotland has now begun assessing each application against the criteria laid out to applicants.
The high number of applications from developers shows just how much potential Scotlands seas hold for the future expansion of offshore wind. There is now a huge amount of work to do in assessing every application thoroughly and fairly so that the strongest projects go through to the next stage in helping to power Scotlands energy sector towards a net zero future, said Colin Palmer, Director of Marine for Crown Estate Scotland.
Option fees will then be paid by successful applicants to Crown Estate Scotland in exchange for securing the rights to areas of seabed. The maximum amount payable will be GBP 100,000 per km2 of seabed.
Revenue profit from the leasing will be returned to the Scottish Government for public spending to drive the green recovery and other Scottish Government priorities.

DNV to Study Safety and Risks of Offshore Green Hydrogen Production – The Maritime Executive
Posted: at 3:42 pm
SEM-REV offshore test site (Centrale Nantes)
PublishedJul 19, 2021 3:15 PM by The Maritime Executive
The concept of green hydrogen production linked to offshore wind farms is going to take a major step forward as DNV launches an effort to identify and analyze the main environmental, safety, and operational risks associated with one of the worlds first offshore green hydrogen production projects. In its role as an independent energy expert and assurance provider, DNV will lead the independent research into the safety and operational risks for the proposed facility at the SEM-REV offshore test site located off the north-western coast of France.
The test site, which is located approximately 12 nautical miles off the coast of France near Saint-Nazaire, was first designed in 2011 with a prototype floating wind turbine first installed in 2018 followed by a wave energy converter prototype in 2019. Lhyfe, a producer and supplier of green and renewable hydrogen for transport and industry, and Centrale Nantes, a French School of engineering and research center, manage the SEM-REV offshore test site.
Expanding beyond the testing of power generation from floating offshore wind and wave energy, Lhyfe and Centrale Nantes announced the goal to make offshore renewable hydrogen a reality by demonstrating the reliability of an offshore electrolyze. The offshore electrolyze will be installed on a floating platform from GEPS Techno, an engineering company developing offshore renewable energy technology, and then be connected to the various sources of marine renewable energy available on the offshore test site, including the Floatgen floating wind turbine. The green hydrogen-generating system is intended to be powered by electricity from a floating wind turbine, with a target start-up date in 2022.
This is potentially a watershed project, one we are excited to be supporting during the FEED stage, says Santiago Blanco, Executive Vice-President and Regional Director Southern Europe, MEA and LATAM, Energy Systems at DNV. Proving the safety of such activities, particularly with new technologies, to gain acceptance and move them closer to adoption, is vital for the industry and stakeholders. We believe green hydrogen at-scale is the ultimate destination for the future of energy storage.
As part of the design of the new facility, DNVs will undertake workshops and technical sessions to identify and analyze the main environmental, safety, and operational risks associated with the project. Risks that will be investigated by DNV include the floating barge, fuel cells, and hydrogen production. A regulations and standards review will also be included as part of the study. Centrale Nantes is also making its research facilities available and providing support for the various regulatory, experimental, and logistical phases.

The Royal Navy plans to bolster its Pacific presence with a visit to Japan by the U.K. Carrier Strike Group and by permanently assigning two offshore patrol vessels in the region later this year.
U.K. Secretary of State for Defence Secretary Ben Wallace met with a variety of U.S. and Japanese officials this week, including Adm. John Aquilino, head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, according to a press release Monday from the U.K. Ministry of Defence.
As we witness a tilt in power towards the Indo-Pacific region, we are committed to working with our partners here to defend democratic values, tackle shared threats and keep our nations safe, Wallace said in the release.
The British Embassy in Tokyo announced on Tuesday that elements of the U.K. strike group would be visiting ports in Sasebo, Okinawa, Kure, Yokosuka and Maizuru.
Following exercises with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force in the Gulf of Aden and in the waters off Japan, the upcoming visit of the U.K.-led Carrier Strike Group to five ports across the country is a clear demonstration of our commitment to maintaining regional security and upholding the rules-based international order with Japan, Wallace said in the Tuesday release.

The British Embassy also announced that the U.K. plans to permanently station two offshore patrol vessels in the Indo-Pacific region later this year, and eventually contribute a littoral response group in the coming years, according to the press release.
A Royal Navy spokesperson could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
The UKs defense relationship with Japan is the closest it has been in the last century, Wallace said in the press release.
The Ministry of Defence said Monday the U.K. strike group, led by the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, will take part in exercises in the Philippine Sea in August alongside the U.S., Australia, France, Japan New Zealand and South Korea.
The Queen Elizabeth would operate in conjunction with a U.S. Carrier Strike Group, although the Defence Ministry did not identify which U.S. carrier group would participate.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Navys 7th Fleet, Cmdr. Hayley Sims, referred questions regarding the Queen Elizabeth and the exercises to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, which was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.
The ministry said training would include anti-submarine exercises and aircraft exercises that would, when combined with a U.S. carrier strike group, represent the largest concentration of F-35 jets anywhere in the world.
The news comes a little over a week after the Queen Elizabeth, which is on its maiden deployment, conducted a large-scale exercise in the Gulf of Aden on July 12 with the USS Ronald Reagan strike group, the Dutch frigate HNLMS Eversten and the amphibious assault group lead by USS Iwo Jima.
The BBC reported 100 cases of COVID-19 aboard ships of the U.K. Carrier Strike Group on July 14, including on the Queen Elizabeth.
Wallace at the time said crew aboard four ships were infected, the Japanese defense ministry spokesman said July 16.
All crew members have been vaccinated and those infected are getting tested every day, the spokesman said, citing Wallaces statement. The infected crew members were isolated, and the ships were to remain at sea for about two weeks, the spokesman said.

More than a third of Americans are considering quitting their jobs: poll – Yahoo Finance
Posted: at 3:41 pm
The rate at which Americans quit their jobs hit a historic high this spring, and workers may not be done job-hopping this year.
More than a third of workers (37%) are either thinking of leaving their current jobs or are already preparing to make the move, according to a Yahoo Finance/Harris Poll survey of 1,639 U.S. adults conducted June 25-28, 2021. Four in five of the potential quitters (83%) want to make the move in the next six months, while the same percentage said theyve been considering the move for the past year.
The top reasons why workers want to quit are better opportunities (46%), higher salary (42%), better work-life balance (34%), changing industries (27%), and not enjoying their work (27%). Survey respondents could select more than one reason.
People are leaving for more attractive jobs because there are lots of attractive jobs on offer, ZipRecruiter Economist Julia Pollak told Yahoo Money. The share of signing bonuses has very radically exploded, the share of jobs offering a four-day workweek has also about doubled.
The survey results come after the rate at which workers quit their jobs hit a record high of 2.8% in April and remained historically elevated in May at 2.5% much higher than before the pandemic. The number of job openings reached a high three months in a row from March to May meaning workers have more options if they decide to leave.
Accommodation and food services along with retail trade had the largest quit rates in May of 5.7% and 4%, respectively, according to data by the Labor Department.
There are many jobs where pay is low, and one doesn't have that much attachment to an employer, Pollak said. When suddenly warehousing and trucking and nursing are offering huge bonuses and reducing experience requirements and training requirements, they suddenly become much more attractive.

Younger workers are more likely to consider quitting than older ones, according to the data. Nearly half of millennials (46%) and 36% of Gen Z are thinking of leaving their jobs, while just 31% of Gen Xers and 21% of baby boomers are contemplating the move.
Story continues
Younger people do switch jobs more frequently typically, Pollak said, But now is an amazing time for many young people in the job market because many employers suffering from worker shortages are reducing the requirements for candidates, and so young people are becoming eligible for jobs that they may not have been able to get before.
While quitting is on the rise, retaining workers may not be that hard.
A 10% increase in annual salary would convince 37% of workers to stay with their current employer, the survey found. That syncs with other data on what workers want. For instance, workers earnings expectations reached a historic high in March 2021 of $72,341, according to the latest data available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Employers can also retain workers by improving their benefits package according to 32% of workers including such perks as health insurance, retirement savings plan, stock options or by providing more time off, which 23% of workers selected.
We see an enormous preference for remote work, Pollak said, but, in general, historically, the things that people care about most are pay, benefits, and growth potential in a job.
