Summary:
A UK scientist who has converted the canal boat Ross Barlow into a pioneering zero-emissions vessel which runs entirely on hydrogen, so its only direct emission is water. The hydrogen is converted to electricity in a fuel cell, which is used to either power the boat's electric motor or charge a back-up battery.

Deep water offshore energy research

Summary:
A team including BMT Nigel Gee, BMT Cordah, Gifford, Hunter Associates, Bierrum International and the University of Nottingham, EON UK and DONG Energy, is designing a method of transporting and installing "concrete gravity foundations" that can be placed on the sea bed in water depths of up to 25 metres and beyond, which would enable a much larger sea area to be allocated to offshore wind farms.
