Great industry insight for my renewable contacts Knowledge is power

Fascinating to see the Norwegian startup World Wide Wind’s concept for deep sea offshore wind with a contra-rotating vertical turbine. This technology looks to reduce many of the challenges of the sector such as; wake turbulence, LCoE, maintenance, environmental impact (material choices and wildlife), and design constraints relating to torque. Touting a LCoE < $50/MWh and a 24MW demonstrator in service in 2024-early 2025 it’s an innovative design for the very challenging deep sea environment that the industry has yet to fully harness. For the UK market deep sea offshore wind (predominantly, Celtic Sea, North Sea, and West of Scotland regions) could provide >20-30 GW, essential for the goal of 40GW’s of offshore wind by 2030. https://lnkd.in/erNWMnXg

For the second day of STS Forum morning session roundtable discussions, we discussed the "New technologies for low emission transportation." Sustainable and efficient energy technologies should be applicable for the current and future transportation systems to decrease emissions. Decarbonization for low emissions is essential. #stsforum #TÜBİTAK #ESOGÜ #energy #transportation # aviation #EV #electricalvehicles #batteries #fuel

The MULTIMEGAWATT HYDROGEN FUEL CELL powered HIGH-SPEED VESSEL design is utilizing Umoe Mandal's proven Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) Surface Effect Ship (SES) technology, featuring an air-cushion catamaran design. This configuration ensures very high fuel efficiency, sufficient range to sail a complete route without charging stops unlike battery-driven vessels. Additionally, it also offers high passenger comfort in rough sea conditions. CTVs are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and operations of offshore wind farms. The imminent vessel, designed for passenger transportation, will boast a service speed of 35 knots, a minimum range of 160 nautical miles, and will accommodate up to 275 passengers. Compared to the fuel consumption of existing equivalent fossil-fueled high speed passenger vessels, the consumption is reduced by more than 55%. The emission of climate gasses is zero. The “Approval of preliminary design” marks the completion of the first stage of the complete design and approval process for this hydrogen fueled vessel, following the procedures required by the International Maritime Organization IGF-code and “Alternative Design Process” design process. https://lnkd.in/gS-3hHDs

In the RETROFIT55 project, as our second partner contributing in the area of Wind Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP), we are thrilled to introduce bound4blue, a pivotal partner in this endeavour. Meet the Partners #12 – bound4blue, Spain bound4blue are pioneers in automated wind-assisted propulsion systems, offering turnkey solutions for shipowners seeking to reduce fuel costs and emissions as a validated solution. Their eSAIL® system is fully autonomous, has low maintenance, and is easily installed on various vessels, making it the most cost-efficient wind propulsion technology today. Founded in 2014 with a clear focus on renewable energy in the maritime sector, bound4blue has already installed its eSAIL® system on three ships and secured agreements with industry leaders like Louis Dreyfus Company, Marubeni Corporation, Odfjell, and Louis Dreyfus Armateurs for fleet-wide installations.   Project Collaboration Goals: Optimize Retrofitting for Competitive WASP Technology   Working closely with bound4blue, the RETROFIT55 project aims to enhance the retrofitting process for existing vessels, boosting the competitiveness of WASP technology. The focus areas include: 1. Operation: Streamlining eSAILs installation processes, identifying and addressing bottlenecks, inefficiencies, risks, and critical activities to achieve cost and lead time reductions for shipowners. 2. Product Improvement: Developing expertise for installing bound4blue’s technology in potentially explosive environments, defining standardized solutions for vessel reinforcement before eSAIL system installation, all aimed towards reducing costs and lead times.   #retrofit55 #horizon2020 #meetthepartners #WASP #windenergy #windpower #sustainability #technology #shipsandshipping #windpropulsion  

🚢⚡ Sailing Towards a Sustainable Future with E-Vessels and Renewable Energy   The concept of electric vehicles is no longer confined to our roads: electric vessels are the forefront of our transition to a greener future. An electric ship is a vessel that utilizes electric propulsion systems for its movement. Unlike traditional ships that rely on internal combustion engines powered by fossil fuels, electric ships use electric motors to drive their propellers. These electric motors can be powered by various energy sources, including batteries, fuel cells, or hybrid systems that combine traditional engines with electric propulsion. They can even be powered by connecting to a wind turbine!   Solar, wind, and other clean energy sources are expanding their reach, not only reducing emissions but also lowering costs. At the same time, electric vessels are revolutionizing maritime transport, offering a cleaner and greener alternative.   🌍 Reduced Emissions: E-vessels significantly cut down on CO2 and other harmful emissions, helping to combat climate change. 🔋 Cost Efficiency: Lower operational costs over time due to reduced fuel consumption and maintenance needs. 💚 Innovation & Growth: Driving advancements in battery technology and renewable energy integration, creating new opportunities in the maritime sector.   The synergy between renewable energy and electric vessels is creating a truly clean energy cycle, driving further investment in sustainable infrastructure. At HELITECNICA, we embrace this concept, as our aluminum profiles embody sustainability and innovation.   As DNV noted: “The number of fully electric and hybrid vessels will surge over the next few years and continued development in these technologies will be a key part of the maritime industry’s transition to a zero-carbon future”.   The transition to renewable energy and e-vessels promises a greener, more efficient future.   #HELITECNICA #DNV #CAP437 #ElectricShips #MaritimeInnovation #SustainableTransport #CleanEnergy #OffshoreWind #Future #EcoFriendly #RenewableEnergy #EVessels #Sustainability #GreenFuture #Naval #MaritimeIndustry #Ships #Wind #Aluminum #Engineering #Aludeck #Helidecks #Innovation #Offshore
