Onboard renewable energy solutions and energy saving measures to reduce the fuel consumption of ships by at least 55% (ZEWT Partnership)
European Commission
About
Opens for applications on 2026-12-15. A European Commission call for proposals. Expected Outcome: Project’s results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes: Full-scale demonstration of the combined solutions aiming to reduce ship GHG intensity and energy savings by at least 55%, compared to 2008 levels. Development of a standardized framework to verify improvements stemming from energy efficiency measures and standardized interfacing with certification of renewable energy solutions to strengthen the implementation of FuelEU Maritime. Explore and establish assessment criteria, and sea-trial procedures for the combination of solutions. Adapt digital solutions towards standardised interface layers (hardware and software) to introduce data-driven optimisation and seamless integration. Facilitate the retrofitting of existing vessels with zero emission energy sources in combination with energy efficiency measures up to 2030. Address the safety and operational impacts on ships, ports and other land infrastructure, as well as training gaps in terms of skills and competencies necessary for the adoption and operation of these technologies onboard ships. Strengthen market confidence in the integration of technologies and ensure sustainability and co
