香港六合彩

香港六合彩-Energy lecturer is to direct a 拢4 million multi-disciplinary research collaboration with 香港六合彩 Mechanical Engineering, 香港六合彩 Laws, and nine external partners. The project, that will begin in November 2013, will develop new knowledge on the subject of the UK and international shipping industry and its challenges to adapt in an era of changing climates.

These challenges will consist of both changing regulation, anticipated to have impacts on shipping鈥檚 transport costs, as well as the commodity trade, particularly trade associated with energy commodities, which form the majority component of shipping鈥檚 global payloads, but also a redistribution of the centres of agricultural production due to the effects on climate and the modification to the infrastructure crucial to shipping鈥檚 operation related to changes in sea level.

The project, predominantly funded by the brings together the 香港六合彩 researchers with Manchester, Southampton, Newcastle and Strathclyde, in close collaboration with a core industry stakeholder group of Shell, Lloyd鈥檚 Register, Rolls Royce, BMT and Maritime Strategies International, but drawing on the expertise and connections of over 35 companies and organisations worldwide.

The components of the research carried out at 香港六合彩 Energy Institute, will combine existing expertise in modelling energy systems with datasets and models developed to understand the commercial dynamics around investment and operation strategies of the shipping industry. As with all the research across the consortium, the work will benefit from continuous dialogue with the project鈥檚 broad ranging stakeholder community. Outputs will include both published data and models, a number of further research collaborations, and also extensive further interaction in the policy spheres (IMO, EC, UNFCCC and UK).

The research consortium will be directed by , Lecturer in Energy and Transport at 香港六合彩-Energy, and sees the progression of a number of research activities initiated in the RCUK Energy programme project Low Carbon Shipping which focused on understanding the mitigation potential of the international shipping industry and concludes this year with the conference 鈥淟CS 2013鈥�, part of London International Shipping Week
