Morning Stokey I think the funding will be from various sources ie
Scillonian levelling up find
QE carrier docking. MOD
M55 rejuvenation project overseas investment.

From one of the comments .......
"Really good event that brought the NZC challenge alive. Looking forward to the next conference and to reading the NSBS refresh due out tomorrow."

consuela have you read this
B9 Energy, Mutual Energy,ISLANDMAGEE ENERGY and the Net Zero Technology Centre are uniting to deliver the Power-to-X Project, which will be located at Ballylumford and which will convert power from wind turbines to green energy and also adapt a first of-a-kind longer duration energy storage.

The four organisations involved have been awarded £986,000 funding as part of the Department of Business Energy & Industry Strategy's (BEIS) Longer Duration Energy Storage (LODES) innovation competition.

Phase one of the Power-to-X Project will see the delivery of a front-end engineering design (FEED) to demonstrate the concept of innovative, first-of-a-kind, longer duration (more than four hours) energy storage technologies, which can be deployed at scale, and where green hydrogen from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar will be stored in underground salt caverns for later use as carbon free fuel in both the transport and power generation sectors.

That is for a 20mw trial the main project is for over 450mw !!!

I liked this part
"Given the vast Government order book, other domestic orders and the export prospects being supported by the Department for International Trade, and with the National Shipbuilding Office seeking to maximise UK work wherever possible, I am convinced that British shipyards are likely to be very busy in the coming years."

Think the article came from this debate SI it is well worth a read

BP on further investigation I agree on both points .
Anyway here’s to some good news next week .

BP Consuela Is using one of your more unusual quotes “ happy clappy” lol

Thanks Si your local knowledge of Appledore is much appreciated.

Si are you saying that it is being upgraded with intelligent launch and recovery systems.means press green button for down red for up ?
From what I can work out Appledore will be used for shipbuilding / repairs and new market for drydocking fishing vessels .

Found this the other day Si you might appreciate it Appledore does get a mention

Keep up Si LNG not oil lol. Have no doubt if required it will sail off to US or elsewhere to collect LNG for Europe

Somehow I think LNG tankers are going to be in high demand very shortly.

Think you will find ET is now owned now by Stonepeak an American co

That is the whole idea of the refresh madder
Read conclusion 25 on the full document

A bit more about the project here

Stokey/Chris I think the main point is the Uk and Ni government is supporting the project. The hydrogen will be stored in salt caverns at Islandmagee
Which means IM will go ahead and get a license to store hydrogen along with gas .
