Led by Durham University and in collaboration with 12 other universities, this project will establish the UK national clean Maritime Research (UK-MaRes) hub to deliver a disruptive programme of activity that will accelerate the decarbonisation and elimination of harmful air pollution for the maritime sector. As well as environmental impacts, the hub also aims to feed into a clean maritime strategy that can adapt to place-based challenges and provide targeted technical and socio-economic interventions through a novel co-innovation methodology.
