Sustainable Energy Applications for Green and Low-impact Operation of small-scale fishing boats in the Baltic and North Sea basins

Project description

Innovative tech for cleaner seas

The small-scale fishing industry in the North and Baltic Sea basins faces significant challenges due to high fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, the EU-funded SEAGLOW project aims to demonstrate and compare five innovative technologies designed to reduce the environmental impact of fishing vessels. By equipping boats with hybrid electric drivetrains, methanol-powered engines, advanced polymer-based surface coatings, and low-cost permanent sensors, SEAGLOW will collect data to refine these applications. The technologies will be tested on four vessels ranging from 8.5 to 11.5 tonnes across Denmark, Estonia, Norway, and Sweden. The project’s goal is to decrease the ecological footprint of these vessels, promoting sustainable fishing practices in the region.

Objective

The project SEAGLOW (Sustainable Energy Applications for Green and Low-impact Operation of small-scale fishing boats in the Baltic and North Sea basins) will demonstrate the impact and potential of 5 different technological applications to reduce fossil fuel consumption and GHG emissions on small fishing boats in the North and Baltic Sea basins. The project will focus on comparison of available technologies through the industrial partners of the project as well as work towards developing and improving the applied technologies through the data collection from the applied cases with the goal of decreasing the environmental impact of the vessels. SEAGLOW will collect sensor data from the case vessels to measure the impact of the applied application over time as well as look into potential combinations of the technologies, which include hybrid electric drivetrains, methanol powered engines, durable polymer-based surface coatings preventing fouling, reducing drag and improving engine performance, to use of low-cost permanent sensors to influence sailing behaviour. The technologies will be tested on vessels from 8.5 – 11.5 tons in full operational conditions on 4 vessels in Denmark, Estonia, Norway and Sweden
