​The wording below is for context, may not form part of the final response:

*Chief Minister, Deputy Kristina Moore, said: “As a small island, Jersey is highly dependent on transporting both freight and passengers through the harbour and airport. Jersey has committed to meeting net zero commitments in line with both the Paris Agreement and Carbon Neutral Roadmap, and we are keen to explore new options for accelerating a move to sustainable aviation and marine fuel.

“This technology feedback-sharing agreement with OceansLab will enable knowledge and technology transfer to accelerate the commercial application of hydrogen technology for use in the maritime industry, and potentially in other transport like buses and heavy goods vehicles.

“If we can learn from others and share expertise, we can be at the forefront of the global transition to net zero.”
