Wind, hydrogen and efficiency technologies: workshop recording now available

How can wind and hydrogen deliver Absolute Zero Emissions across Mediterranean shipping?

The recording of ShipZERO31 Workshop 2, HyWindships, is now available to watch on YouTube.

The workshop examined how wind propulsion and other efficiency technologies can be combined with hydrogen to achieve Absolute Zero Emissions across Mediterranean shipping.

The discussion focused on real operating conditions, including ship types, routes, Mediterranean wind patterns and energy demand, and which combinations of technologies are best suited to each.

What does the workshop explore?

  • Mediterranean ship types, routes and wind conditions
  • Rigid sails, rotor sails and kite propulsion
  • Vessel efficiency and energy-demand reduction
  • Hydrogen propulsion and onboard systems
  • Integration of wind and hydrogen
  • Matching technology combinations to vessel types and routes
  • Naval architecture and operational considerations

From technologies to integrated vessels

The recording includes expert presentations and a roundtable discussion focused on one central question:

What combination of wind propulsion, efficiency technologies and hydrogen works best for different vessels and routes in the Mediterranean?

The discussion considered how technologies that are often addressed separately can be integrated into practical Absolute Zero Emission vessel systems.
