Policy Update: Zero-Emission Requirements for the Norwegian Offshore Fleet
2024-10-30 08:30 - 22:00 UTC
The Norwegian government has announced zero-emission requirements for the offshore fleet, and last year the Norwegian Parliament decided that low-emission requirements will be introduced in 2025 and zero-emission requirements from 2029.
The offshore fleet is the spearhead of technological development in Norwegian shipping. It consists of around 500 vessels of various types and is the world’s most valuable offshore fleet after the USA. It accounts for around 30 percent of emissions from Norwegian shipping, which is the highest of all segments, and is crucial for achieving climate goals.
Is the technology and industry ready for zero-emission requirements for the offshore fleet? How can we establish the necessary infrastructure and value chain, and how should the requirements be formulated to have the greatest impact on transformation?
Together with the State Secretary of the Ministry of Climate and Environment, Maritime CleanTech invite operators on the continental shelf, offshore shipping companies, technology firms, and the rest of the value chain to a breakfast meeting to discuss the way forward.
ShipFC partners Eidesvik and Wartsila will present their take on story!

ONS: The Green Offshore Fleet: Who Takes the Bill?
2024-08-26 19:00 - 20:00
The offshore fleet emitted nearly 1.5 million tons of CO2 in 2022. To reduce this number, the government has announced requirements for low emissions starting in 2025 and zero emissions by 2029. Yet, it is still unclear what the regulations will look like.
How will politicians facilitate green logistics chains in the offshore industry? What solutions are available for low and zero emissions? And not least: Who will pay for the new technology? Maritime CleanTech invites key politicians and industry players to a debate in Vågen during ONS 2024.

Marine Fuel Cells – where are we now?
2022-03-15 10:00 - 11:30
Shipping is searching for its new zero-emissions power technology. Whilst combustion engines are still the market leaders, fuel cell providers are intriguing us with the promise of higher efficiency and lowered fuel consumption. How ready are the FC technologies, and do they have a solid business case? And just how much more effective are they proving to be?
While fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen will drastically reduce emissions, we also see vast potential in utilizing a higher percentage of the energy available in each fuel. This is where fuel cells come in, as the most energy-efficient devices for extracting power from fuels.
The European projects ShipFC and FLAGSHIPS are both demonstrating fuel cell technologies for achieving their zero-emission solutions for maritime activities. In this Tech Update, we’ve gathered representatives from ShipFC, FLAGSHIPS, and other leading actors within the FC ecosystem. The topic: Status quo of fuel cells for marine use.
In this webinar, both providers, users and researchers will answer questions on efficiencies, challenges and how far they have come on the road to commercialization.
Join us on the 15 March to get the answers.

The Future of Shipping
2021-11-23
by the Norwegian and the Finnish Shipowners’ Associations and the Embassy of Finland in Norway .

Norwegian and Finnish shipowners and authorities have set ambitious goals for a green shipping industry for the future. If we are to succeed in curbing the effects of climate change, we need to act quickly. Decarbonization and digitalization will be key drivers in this transition. Developing new and profitable green technology for the maritime sector will cut emissions, create new business opportunities and new green jobs. At this event, we will have a closer look at new and ongoing projects, best practices, how to strengthen the collaboration across country borders and between the industry and national authorities.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell for Green Shipping
2021-10-19 19:00 - 20:30
(In Norwegian) Tjalve Svendsen som jobber i Prototech vil fortelle om prosjekter knyttet til brenselcellesystemer for maritim bruk. Møtet arrangeres av NTVA Bergen, Tekna og Academia Europaea.
Om møtet
Møtet er åpent for alle og gratis. Vi serverer kveldsmat i etterkant av foredraget for de som vil ha (ca kl. 20.30). For at vi skal kunne beregne mat må du registrere deg. Foredraget starter kl. 19.00 og det er muligheter for spørsmål i etterkant.
Møtet finner sted på Høgskolen på Vestlandet, Campus Kronstad, Inndalsveien 28, 1. etasje i nybygget K2, inngang fra Kronstadplassen. Spre gjerne denne informasjonen eller FB-eventet til andre som kan være interessert!
Om foredraget
Det er i dag et betydelig og økende fokus på å redusere utslipp fra kommersiell skipsfart, blant annet drevet av strengere regelverk og mer ambisiøse mål for utslippsreduksjon, økende etterspørsel etter lavere karbonavtrykk for forbrukerprodukter, og økende CO2 -avgifter og endring i avgiftsregimer.
For å nå målene som er satt av IMO og andre vil det være nødvendig å implementere nye løsninger, drivstoff og teknologier, i tillegg til utstrakt bruk av eksisterende løsninger for energioptimalisering av fartøy. De siste årene har interessen og fokuset på lav- og nullutslipps drivstoff derfor økt betraktelig.
Mange ser på ammoniakk som et fremtidig drivstoff med spesielt stort potensial, da det ikke fører til CO2 utslipp og samtidig har relativt god energitetthet og greie lagringsforhold. En rekke pilotprosjekter er under oppføring, både knyttet til utvikling av oppstrøms verdikjede, samt relatert til demonstrasjoner i skip. Det pågående ShipFC-prosjektet er et ledende eksempel på dette, og omhandler installasjon av 2MW ammoniakk brenselcellesystem i Eidesviks «Viking Energy» offshore supply skip.
I presentasjonen vil vi diskutere mulighetene og barrierene for de nye løsningene som er under utvikling, og med særlig fokus på hvordan effektive og fuelfleksible høytemperatur brenselceller kan muliggjøre bruk av nye drivstoff og bidra til transformasjonen av maritim næring. En status for ShipFC-prosjektet og andre relevante aktiviteter vil bli gitt. Videre vil vi presentere videre planer for utvikling og kommersialisering av brenselcelleteknologien i Bergen.
Om foredragsholderen
Tjalve Svendsen har bakgrunn i teoretisk fysikk og energifysikk ved Universitetet i Bergen (MSc.), og har de siste åtte år jobbet som forsker og prosjektleder i Prototech med hovedfokus på prosjekter knyttet til brenselcellesystemer for maritim bruk. Som styremedlem i Norsk Hydrogenforum jobber han også med å fremme hydrogen og hydrogenteknologier i Norge.

Ammonia as a green shipping fuel: challenges and opportunities
2021-09-23 10:00 - 11:30
Register here
Powerful stakeholders worldwide are investing in ammonia maritime fuel cell technology; modern vessels indeed need to be able to support fleet decarbonization objectives in order to meet the IMO’s reduction target for 2050. Shipping companies seek climate-friendlier alternatives to petroleum that can propel their vessels for days or weeks at sea and still leave room on board for cargo.
Ammonia is a promising zero-carbon fuel and is going to play a pivotal role in decarbonizing the global maritime industry: no carbon dioxide when burned, it’s abundant and common and it can be made using renewable electricity, water, and air; it doesn’t have to be stored in high-pressure tanks. But no vessels of any size today are equipped to use the fuel.
In this respect the SHIPFC project will install the world’s first high-power ammonia fuel cell on a vessel, with the ultimate goal of demonstrating the feasibility of ammonia fuel cells for ocean going vessels and long sea voyages: effectively opening up a completely new option for zero-emission shipping and creating the starting point to build up the market for zero-carbon fuels.
But this opportunity is not without challenges that can make the stakeholders hesitant to commit to investments in large-scale systems: manufacturers and engineers must face key technical hurdles and safety issues in the design of ammonia engines and fuel cells; port operators and fuel suppliers must provide bunkering infrastructure; energy companies will need to invest in solar, wind and other renewable-energy capacities to produce enough green ammonia.
The goal of the digital workshop is to set up a discussion about both the opportunities and issues, involving subjects at the forefront of this innovative path: SHIPOWNERS, SHIPBUILDERS, SUPPLIERS, REGISTERS, PORTS, ASSOCIATIONS AND POLICY MAKERS.
