Project description
Towards zero emissions shipping
International shipping is responsible for 3 % of global greenhouse gas emissions. The EU-funded CHEK project will pioneer the development of zero-emissions shipping with a future-proof vessel design platform. This will be used to develop and demonstrate two bespoke vessel designs in practice: a wind energy optimised bulk carrier and a hydrogen-powered cruise ship. Both use an interdisciplinary combination of technologies that work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 99 %, while saving at least 50 % energy. Focus will be on maximising symbiosis between these technologies, as they operate in unison for the first time. Finally, CHEK will study the potential impact of this approach on the world fleet's greenhouse gas emissions.
