Accelleron: Shipping Must Pool Carbon-Neutral Fuel Demand with Other Industries
In its first report on maritime decarbonization, Accelleron's Deadlock: What's Stopping Shipping's Carbon-Neutral Fuel Transition? argues that "viral" efficiency measures such as vessel retrofits and digital solutions across the largest ships in the global fleet should be enough to reach the IMO's carbon reduction targets for 2030.But for deeper decarbonization leading to net zero, shipping will need to switch to green hydrogen-based fuels, which today are scarce and prohibitively expensive.
Accelleron Report Calls to Decarbonize Shipping
Accelleron will launch a landmark Net Zero report at London International Shipping Week (LISW) this month, calling on shipping to join forces with other industries and pool demand for carbon-neutral fuels.The call to decarbonize shipping has sparked a technological renaissance in the past decade that has enabled vessels to slash emissions in a variety of ways and be powered by carbon-neutral fuels. But the production of such fuels at scale and at affordable prices has yet to materialize.
Accelleron Links Digital Emissions Reporting To ClassNK Portal
Accelleron has simplified emissions reporting for users of its digital solutions after collaborating with ClassNK to establish a direct connection between Tekomar XPERT marineâs emissions module and the ClassNK MRV portal.Under European and IMO regulations, emissions reports need to be verified by an accredited entity before being submitted to the relevant authority. Tekomar XPERTâs emission moduleâŠ
Digitalization in Maritime: A Series of Small Steps Equal One Giant Leap
The maritime and energy industries are at a crossroads. Driven by regulation to decarbonize, the industries cumulatively search for new and emerging technologies to meet increasingly strict emission guidelines. As Cristian Corotto, President, Digital Division, Accelleron emphasizes time and again, this is will be accomplished in a series of small steps versus one giant leap. While there are many âtoolsâ in the decarbonization tool boxâŠ
Engine Part-load Optimization Saves Fuel for Höegh Autoliners Vessel
Hanwha and Accelleron have performed an engine part load optimization (EPLO) for Höegh Autoliners supporting long-term energy efficiency for its 7,850 CEU (Car Equivalent Units) car carrier Höegh Detroit. The success of the project to improve the vesselâs Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) rating has led to an order for EPLOs on a further seven vessels owned or operated by Höegh.At a recent sea trial, EPLO demonstrated fuel saving of 10g/kWh, equivalent to 5% of total fuel consumption.
