A 360-degree analysis of hydrogen as a marine fuel and wind-assisted propulsion are the latest in a series of reports studying alternative fuels and decarbonization technologies for the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) delivered by an ABS-led consortium, including CE Delft and Arcsilea, reports ABS.
EMSA is committed to supporting the European Commission, the Member States, the shipping sector and European ports in the transition to carbon neutral shipping.
SMM
Presented at the 2024 SMM in Hamburg, the reports examined hydrogen and wind propulsion’s greenhouse gas impact, sustainability, availability, scalability, techno-economic aspects, regulations, risk and safety.
“This project gave us the opportunity to analyze important options which will allow the sector to comply with upcoming regulatory requirements for GHG emissions. By providing a consistent analysis of the different options with regards to their suitability, availability, sustainability, and cost implications, we wanted to provide the sector with useful information for their decision-making process,” said Dagmar Nelissen, Manager Shipping at CE Delft. Multi-year project
Multi-year project
The multi-year project is tasked to deliver a total of six reports, the first of which focused on biofuels and ammonia. The final two reports are underway and will examine synthetic fuels and nuclear power for shipping. Publication is expected within the year.
