Meeting the EU and IMO targets demands green maritime innovation and new international standards. What technology barriers are most urgent, and how can we overcome the hurdles? May 30-31st we gather and challenge partners from across the industry!
The proportion of low- and zero-emission technologies on vessels built in Norwegian shipyards is higher than in all other shipbuilding nations, but ambitious climate goals set by the IMO combined with new ETS regulations from the EU means we must speed up the transition. This year’s Innovation Workshop is all about addressing the tech barriers – segment by segment:
- Ammonia has been pointed at as a feasible solution for the offshore fleet for years, but what needs to be in place to get the ammonia value chain running?
- What are the most urgent barriers when it comes to increasing energy efficiency or moving over to green fuels for the deep-sea fleet?
- Norway has already revolutionized large parts of the ferry fleet, but what’s preventing passenger and tourist transport from reaching the next and upscaled level?
- The aquaculture industry is expecting increasingly more demanding environmental requirements from 2024. How can they get a head start with future fuels?
- Energy optimization and retrofit solutions have been hot topics for the short-sea fleet for years. Which challenges need to be addressed most urgently to meet new regulations?
- New value chains for future fuels, offshore wind and new maritime technology will bring new demands for ports along the Norwegian Coast. We’re talking bunkering, charging, standardisation, safety and general logistics. Join our excursion to Risavika, to find out how one of Norway’s largest ports are gearing for a new, green era!
“The Maritime CleanTech community is a great arena for discussing the barriers slowing down the development of green technology solutions. Joining forces helps us get over those hurdles, and secure both technology validation and market preparation. We look forward to gathering tech pioneers at Sola”, Ada Martine Jakobsen, CEO of Maritime CleanTech says.
