The emissions reduction solution NORDEN follows works by burning biofuel on a vessel and the emission reduction being allocated to a third-party customer using a book and claim chain of custody system.
The new low-emission vessels, which will be used to ship aircraft components for Airbus, will each be powered by a combination of six 35-meter tall Norsepower Rotor Sails
The vessel design aims at being a first of its kind, a zero-emission high-speed passenger vessel sailing along the coast without emitting anything but warm air and water.
A study of operational data has indicated significant emission reductions for two Medium Range (MR) product tankers fitted with Wärtsilä technology, and an average efficiency gain of 6% has been recorded.
The focus of the project is investigating the feasibility of replacing diesel engines in today’s hovercraft with a zero-emission hydrogen propulsion system.
The futuristic-looking training ship of the Rotterdam-based STC Group, the Ab Initio (67 x 8.20 metres), will soon be sailing emission-free for hours at a time in the Port of Rotterdam.
