During the Summer, Professor Peilin Zhou was invited to give a presentation at the Europe-Korea Conference on Science and Technology 2024 (EKC2024), Coventry, UK, 30 July to 2 August 2024.
EKC2024 is the 16th Europe-Korea Conference in the series hosted by the Korean Scientists and Engineers Association in the UK (KSEAUK) together with the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST) and eight other Korean Scientists and Engineers Associations in Europe which are based in Germany (VeKNI), France (ASCoF), Austria (KOSEAA), Finland (KOSES), Scandinavia (KSSEA), the Netherlands (KOSEANL), Switzerland (KSEAS), and Belgium (KOSEAbe).

Professor Peilin Zhou’s talk entitled “Research and Development of De‐carbonisation Fuels’ Application for Waterborne Transport”, introduced the vision, objectives, main tasks and expected outcomes of the LH2CRAFT Project. He also highlighted the Safety and Risk Assessment work that will be performed during the Project and is led by the University of Strathclyde.

The presentation generated a good discussion on decarbonisation, specifically the use of Hydrogen fuel, within the maritime industry.
