Maritime CleanTech

⏱️🦋 Time really flies when you're having fun and driving sustainable innovation! As we prepare to hit the recharge button, let's revisit some of our 2024 highlights so far: 🔹 Together with our partners in the Flagships H2020 Project, we launched the first zero-emission hydrogen-powered cargo vessel on the Rhine, the innovative H2 Barge 2. 🚢💧 🔹 The Ocean Charger project successfully demonstrated high-power charging solutions for zero-emission vessels, paving the way for sustainable maritime operations. 🌊⚡ 🔹 We launched the trailblazing Green AI for Sustainable Shipping >> The GASS Project, leveraging advanced technologies to optimize energy efficiency and reduce emissions. 🤖🌱 🔹 From Singapore to Marseille to San Francisco, we have been active across continents, establishing new partnerships and expanding our network in the green maritime industry. 🌍🤝 🔹 At home, we’ve had the joy of connecting with old and new partners and friends at networking events including our Innovation Workshop in Stavanger, One Ocean Week in Bergen, and Energy House Day at Stord. 🇳🇴🎉 We are immensely proud of what we’ve achieved together and grateful to our partners and supporters for your dedication and collaboration. Let's keep the momentum going once summer wraps up! 🚀🌿 Ada Martine Jakobsen | Håvard Tvedte | Øystein Huglen | Jan Norbeck | Emilie Dorgeville | Silje Sivertsen | Karina Sortland | Kari Stautland | Marius Knutsen | Runar Bjørkvik Mæland | Tonje Hovland | Marte Jensen | Trygve Førland Nedrebø | Bjørn Sundland | Hans-Petter Nesse | Vermund Hjelland | Aina Berg | Geir Bjørkeli | Heidi Wolden | Elisabeth Drægebø | Marie Tveit Vestbøstad | Amrit Bhullar | Charlotte Gannefors Krafft | Gunvald Mortvedt | Carl Ove Utkilen

Green shipping starts with clean energy ⚡🚢 But how, where, and when can ships get access to the power they need? With our partners from across the maritime value-chain, we are ready to delve into these and other questions to assess the potential for a clean energy hub for ships in Bergen. Thank you Bergen kommune for funding this initiative, which supports the city's ambitions for a renewable future!

🏞 In 2018, the Norwegian parliament boldly resolved to make our UNESCO World Heritage fjords zero-emission zones by 2026. ⏰ Back then, 2026 could seem like a long time off. Now, it’s less than one and a half years away – but the government still hasn’t enacted the regulations that will give effect to the resolution. 🤷♀️ “We are growing impatient on behalf of the green maritime industry,” Maritime CleanTech CEO Ada Martine Jakobsen says in this report on the story from Teknisk Ukeblad. ⚠ “The 2018 decision signalled the start of important developments in green propulsion solutions for ships. The continuing uncertainty about the new regulations means investments are being put on hold. It penalises those who have taken the lead and adapted to the zero-emissions resolution and rewards those who have lobbied for postponing and diluting it.” 📰 Read the full story below (in Norwegian), where Ada is featured alongside John Anders Røse of Maritimt Forum, Elise Caspersen of Miljøstiftelsen ZERO, and others!

LOHC: A new pathway to enabling hydrogen for the maritime sector 💦 🛳 💡 With liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC), large amounts of hydrogen can be stored and transported safely at ambient temperatures and pressures. ⛽ The carrier oil can be distributed to ships using existing infrastructure and handled in ports using familiar bunkering procedures. ⚡ Onboard, hydrogen can be released on demand through catalytic reaction to generate power in a fuel cell for propulsion and other needs, with minimal H2 being present in the ship's system. 🏭 In Ship-aH2oy, we use Hydrogenious LOHC's proprietary LOHC technology with benzyltoluene (BT) as carrier medium. BT is a familiar industrial product that is hardly flammable, non-explosive, and can be reused many times. 🚢 Shipowners Edda Wind have 13 vessels in operation and on the order books that are prepared to install this innovative solution for zero-emission operation! 🏖 As we get ready for the summer, we can hardly wait to return to work on this bold, collaborative effort with recharged batteries!

📢 Major announcement: Record-breaking funding for green maritime transport! 📢 💰 We were thrilled to be present as Norwegian Climate Minister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen announced Enova SF's largest-ever allocation for maritime transport, dedicated to supporting hydrogen and ammonia in vessels. 🏆 Congratulations to our partners Höegh Autoliners, Napier AS, Amon Maritime and consortia for their successful bids in this competitive round! 🌍 Enova's commitment to supporting projects with NOK 1.2 billion underscores the critical importance of transitioning to sustainable energy solutions in the maritime sector. Effective measures are urgently needed to accelerate the deployment of new green technology and develop value chains for green energy carriers. 👍 We are optimistic about Enova's new programs. However, additional measures are required to stimulate investments in producing and distributing green hydrogen and ammonia, fostering holistic value chains for new fuels. We must also secure funding for projects focusing on realizing ammonia and hydrogen within segments like offshore and passenger vessels. 📅 The next Enova deadline for these vessel programs is September 27. We invite all our partners to discuss upcoming project calls with our funding and project advisors. ⚓Anchors aweigh for clean shipping fuels! With today’s major funding announcement, green H2 and NH3 are ready to set sail ⛵️ #Sustainability #GreenShipping #MaritimeInnovation #Enova #Hydrogen #Ammonia #CleanEnergy #MaritimeCleanTech #ClimateAction Klima- og miljødepartementet | Nærings- og fiskeridepartementet | Corvus Energy | TECO 2030 | SMART Automation AS | LH2 Shipping | Norwegian Hydrogen | HYDS - Hydrogen Solutions | Hy2gen | GreenH AS | Yara Clean Ammonia | Hexagon Purus | Ocean Hyway Cluster | Miljøstiftelsen ZERO | Norsk Hydrogenforum | Norwegian Shipowners' Association (Norges Rederiforbund) | Grønt Skipsfartsprogram Andreas Enger | André Risholm | Kjetil Tufteland | Nils Kristian Nakstad | Elin Ulstad Stokland | Rune Holmen | Sigmund Ø.
