The Electric Thames project

In this episode, Jon and Sandra are joined by Andy Hurley, Operations Director from Marine Zero, Ben Turner, Innovation Engineer at UK Power Networks and Mark Hadfield, Project Manager from LCP Delta to discuss the Electric Thames project. As the Thames undergoes significant changes to support the net zero goal, the Port of London Authority (PLA) has committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions from its operations by 2040. Electric Thames is an innovative initiative designed to help reach this objective through vessels powered by batteries and hydrogen, as well as by providing Vessel-to-Grid capabilities.
--
Andy Hurley has extensive maritime operational and management experience, having worked in professions linked with the sea throughout most of his working life. Andy holds an unrestricted Master Mariners certificate and has worked within the senior management group at the RNLI. More recently Andy has led several projects for a Plymouth based passenger vessel operator, including the development of the UKs first fully electric seagoing passenger vessel. Andy has also worked with the Cornwall Marine Hydrogen Centre to assist them with the development of the UK's first hydrogen fuel cell test rig designed for use on small commercial and pleasure vessels and supporting the development of training for hydrogen and electric vessel operation. 
Andy has an excellent working relationship with the leading classification societies and MCA.  
Andy has worked on multiple projects at Marine Zero, working with the Port of London Authority, A&P and Sea-Kit as well as with local authorities, universities and many commercial port and vessel operators.
 
As an Innovation Engineer for UK Power Networks, Ben Turner develops cutting edge solutions to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the distribution network in London and the South East.
His role consists of researching, managing and implementing innovative technologies to make the network safer, more efficient and better equipped to facilitate the transition to net zero.
Electric Thames is a great project to be involved in as it brings together so many different people across a variety of organisations and industries. I hope that our coordinated approach to the decarbonisation of the Thames will find a solution that everyone can benefit from.
