De wereldwijde scheepvaart is verantwoordelijk voor 2,5% van de CO2-uitstoot en kan volgens de Nederlandse en Europese reders in 2050 de helft minder CO2 uitstoten. CO2 reductie voor de scheepvaart vereist echter aanzienlijke inspanningen om economische, technologische en logistieke barrières te slechten.
Het thema “CO2 reductie in de scheepvaart” behelst na… [more]

The maritime sector is facing a major challenge. Whilst a globally growing economy leads to greater demand for the transport of goods, the goals from the Paris Climate Agreement and the subsequent agreement of the IMO requires a 50% reduction of CO2-emissions from maritime transport by 2050 compared to the level of 2008. Several stakeholders (including polic… [more]

The FCMAR project, reported on here, aimed to gain a better understanding of the technical and economic feasibility of different fuel cell configurations on board different ship types in combination with different alternative fuels.
The applicability of these configurations on board ships is studied with regard to technology readiness levels (TRLs), emission… [more]

Mobility needs to become sustainable
To realise the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement,
drastically greener modes of transport are needed.
Smart mobility concepts, more efficient engines, battery electric vehicles and biofuels are often mentioned as applications. Electric vehicles can be considered the preferred solution for short distances and light veh… [more]

This report aims to enhance a shipowner’s ability to navigate technological, regulatory and market uncertainty due to decarbonization – thus maintaining competitiveness, profitability and value over time.
— We have developed a library of 30 scenarios projecting future fleet composition, energy use and fuel mix, and CO2 emissions to 2050. We model 16 differen… [more]

Rotterdam, 23 March 2020.
The Green Maritime Methanol consortium studies the possibilities for renewable Methanol as a maritime transport fuel. Green Methanol is an important candidate as a future fuel for the shipping industry. It is widely available, can be produced in a sustainable way, is easily stored on board of ships and can be burned in engines with… [more]

Sinds de IMO in april 2018 instemde met de halvering van de totale CO2-uitstoot van de zeevaart in 2050 (ten opzichte van 2008) en volledig klimaatneutraal varen in de jaren daarna, is er een grote vraag naar duurzame technieken en alternatieve brandstoffen. Niet in elk segment van de maritieme sector is de urgentie even groot. Volgens Visser staat de binnen… [more]

Within the International Maritime Organization (IMO) context, the maritime sector is aiming for a 50% reduction of CO2 emissions in 2050 compared to 2008. On top of that, the EU has set its own "Green Deal" zero CO2 emissions targets for shipping by 2050. To boost the transition towards these targets, a feasibility study was carried out investigating a compl… [more]
