WS21: Setting Sail: The Potential of EU Wind Propulsion

Track:Parallel workshops
  • Blue Energy (Marine renewable energy, alternative fuels, energy transition, decarbonisation, desalination, port adaptation etc.)

This workshop will explore how the European shipping industry can scale up wind propulsion to decarbonise, and reduce pressure on zero-emission fuels while operating within planetary boundaries. The workshop will both highlight wind opportunities and address related challenges. Through interactive exercises participants will engage in discussions on innovative propulsion technologies and the development of relevant policies, and collaborate to envision how we can build a competitive European wind industry that drives the transition to a sustainable maritime future.
