ION SUPPORTING UK NET ZERO PLAN
ION Geophysical Corporation’s Edinburgh-based Software group has received a grant to advance port decarbonisation through its climate-smart platform, Marlin SmartPort™.
The grant is said to support the UK’s Ten Point Plan to address climate change and help achieve the country’s net-zero emissions target by 2050. The Data-Led Emissions Management (D-LEMA) project is part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, funded by the UK Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK.
The 6-month pilot study will validate whether vessel fuel usage and carbon dioxide emissions can be reliably estimated in and around ports using the International Maritime Organization (IMO) global standard. T
he Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition represents a £20 million investment from government alongside a further £10 million from industry to reduce emissions from the maritime sector.
The programme is supporting 55 projects across the UK, including projects in Scotland, Northern Ireland and from the South West to the North East of England.
