The Future of shipping is Green

Green Marine is a 4-year project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under grant agreement No. 101096522 while UK participation in Green Marine project is co-funded by Innovate UK funding scheme. Green Marine is expected to significantly accelerate the climate neutrality of ships through retrofitting existing fleets. The future of shipping will be energy and fuel-efficient, capture the carbon it emits and have closed air circulation systems that are virus free. A software tool catalogue will be made that gathers knowledge on these and other solutions. The project will demonstrate these tools and the innovative solutions onboard a Calmac vessel.

Consortium

Green Marine consortium brings together experience and knowledge by 10 partners from industry and academia from all over Europe and UK, coordinated by the Cyprus Marine & Maritime Institute (CMMI). All partners share the vision of providing the wider maritime community and industry with effective and efficient ways of onboard retrofitting solutions leading to decarbonising the maritime industry. The department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering (NAOME) leads this effort from the University of Strathclyde, contributing in all technical work packages, especially in the demonstration of retrofitting existing fleets of ships and the exploitation and dissemination activities of the project (Green Marine LinkedIn).
