RETROFIT SOLUTIONS TO ACHIEVE 55% GHG REDUCTION BY 2030
No single GHG emission reduction solution can achieve the targeted fuel consumption reduction of 55% by 2030, so a combination of various systems is necessary.
A Decision Support System (DSS) will be developed within the project to leverage AI web-based tools that will provide a synthesis of the different technologies accounting for safety aspects, cost- effectiveness and life-cycle costs, including the decommissioning phase.
The innovations to be developed by this project to reduce GHG emissions, cover the exploitation of renewable energies, design optimization, solutions to reduce friction losses, increased ship electrification and the improved management of the operational phase and on-board systems. Most importantly, all these aspects are dealt with in an integrated way, i.e. taking account of the impact each solution has on other subsystems.
This project aims to implement the co-programmed European Partnership on ‘Zero Emission Waterborne Transport’ (ZEWT).
