Seminar - Shipping as a guide towards sustainable transport
In order to reach the national target of fossil free transport by 2030, emissions reduction in the transport sector needs to accelerate on a technical and operational level. Several on-going and ground breaking projects are contributing to the development of different sustainability solutions. On the 15th of June a selection of these will be presented, which a particular focus on the GreenPilot project. Through the conversion of a pilot boat to operate on methanol the GreenPilot project opens up to a more sustainable and competitive coastal and inland transport.
SSPA is coordinating the SUMMETH project (Sustainable Marine Methanol) which is also focused on developing methanol solutions for smaller vessels. Dr. Joanne Ellis from SSPA will present “Powering cleaner shipping on coastal and inland waterways” with findings from the SUMMETH project.
The seminar is arranged by the project partners SSPA Sweden, Swedish Maritime Technology Forum, ScandiNAOS, the Swedish Maritime Administration, the Swedish Transport Administration and Lighthouse. More information on the GreenPilot project can be found at the project website www.greenpilot.se
Date & Time: 15th June, at 09.00 – 17.00. Lunch is included.
Venue: SSRS facilities, Talattagatan 24, Gothenburg
Language: English.
Final registration: Monday 12th June. Registration
Welcome to an international seminar on the 15th June, presenting the outcome and lessons learned.
Livestream: GreenPilot seminar (link to Bambuser).
GreenPilot project shares results
The GreenPilot project has converted a pilot boat to methanol operation to show how a methanol conversion of a smaller vessel can be carried out in practice and to demonstrate the emissions reductions that can be achieved. The project and the partners are ready to share their latest results at the Nor-Shipping exhibition in Norway, and a seminar will be held in Sweden in June. SSPA is committed to developing sustainable solutions for shipping and we have dedicated experts as part of the project team.
Methanol as an alternative fuel for smaller vessels
Interest in methanol as an alternative fuel for meeting emissions requirements continues to grow. Methanol is a good alternative for smaller ships operating on coastal and inland waterways, but has yet to be tested in these applications. SSPA is coordinator of the project, “SUMMETH", which is focused on developing methanol solutions for smaller vessels.
Methanol, an alternative fuel for greener shipping
Methanol is a promising alternative fuel for reducing emissions and improving the environmental performance of shipping. Interest in this fuel is growing, and SSPA was co-coordinator of an important pilot project to demonstrate the use of methanol fuel on-board a ship and in adapted marine engines.
Methanol and Ethanol as Marine Fuels
A study for the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) on the use of methanol and ethanol as marine fuels has been completed by SSPA, together with sub-contractor Lloyds Register. The study evaluates the potential of these alternative fuels as solutions for shipping to meet more stringent emissions requirements.
