About Green Ship
Green Ship of the Future is a unique cooperation in which companies across the Danish maritime industry join forces in order to develop strategies to reduce CO2 by 30 %, SOX by 90 %, NOX by 90 % and particulate emissions from both existing ships and newbuildings. Participation is open for all Danish companies and organisations that meet the condition of being able to demonstrate a technology for reduction of air emissions within one of the four focus areas: machinery, propulsion, operation and logistics.
Combining forces
Many elements are coming together in Green Ship of the Future: research, development, demonstration, innovation, education, training and dissemination of knowledge. Many fields of knowledge are involved such as: systems for recycling heat energy, optimization of the hull, propellers and rudders, optimization of the draft and speed for a given route and arrival time and monitoring the fouling of hulls and propellers. Engine technology is an especially essential factor for achieving the planned benefits.
The Green Ship of the Future initiative was founded by the four leading Danish maritime companies Aalborg Industries, A.P. Moller-Maersk, MAN Diesel and Odense Steel Shipyard in recognition of the ecological responsibility nested in the maritime industry. Today, the group consists of about 25 companies (click here for list) all working on making shipping and shipbuilding more environmentally friendly.
The Green Ship of the Future initiative is endorsed by the Danish Ministry of Economics. Click here to read more.
