Alternative fuels for marine applications

The project addresses the technological development within energy application and supply for marine transportation. The project addresses both state-of-the-art and the possible future developments from the viewpoint of a sensible policy which will lead to fulfillment of international energy and environmental political goals.

The overall objective of the Task is to compile an extensive volume of information relative to the implementation of various alternative fuels (AF) within the European maritime sector and recommend the most fiscally sound policies in order to achieve the goals of environmental compliance, seamless integration of alternative fuels within existing infrastructures, unfettered maritime trade practices, and fewest impediments to ship owners and operators.

The project will identify internationally coordinated and acceptable strategies for introduction of the future fuels and emission technology, in this context the widest possible introduction of alternative fuels and adapted to the situation in other transportation sectors
