Project description

Waste heat recovery solutions for shipping decarbonisation

The European Commission set ambitious goals to decarbonise the EU shipping sector, which is among the most polluting sectors. The aim is to make it an innovator in maritime pollution reduction. The EU-funded ZHENIT project will promote waste heat recovery (WHR) as a ready-to-implement solution to fully untap ‘on-board WH potential’ to achieve 2030 IMO/EU targets for shipping sector decarbonisation. The project will develop and validate WHR solutions and digital tools at different temperature levels for several on-board services like cooling, power and desalination, valorising heat in diverse vessel processes.

Objective

ZHENIT overall objective is to promote Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) as key and “ready-to-implement” solutions to achieve 2030 IMO/EU targets for shipping sector decarbonization. ZHENIT goal is to fully untap “on-board WH potential” developing and validating WHR solutions at different temperature levels towards the exploitation of WH for different on-board services (cooling, power, desalination) thus able to valorise heat in different vessel processes like: WH-to-Trigeneration via an innovative recuperated ORC integrated with an heat pumpt with ejector (T>100°C – NTUA); WH-to-Cooling and Desalination via an adsorption system (70
