The practical and real-world benefits of retrofit and conversion on shipping’s journey to decarbonisation have long been recognised, and Hoppe Marine’s Uwe Altenbach will share the results of a pilot project aboard a seagoing vessel using a new generation of Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS).
Speaking in the final session of the Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference – Retrofit: Turning Existing Fleets into Future-Ready Assets – Altenbach will present details of onboard CO₂ concentration measurement and mass emission determination.
He will share the key lessons learned from commissioning and operational experience, and discusses the regulatory challenges associated with direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measurement.
As Sales Manager at Hoppe Marine, an independent, family-owned group of companies with 75 years of experience, Altenbach leads the commercial development of the company’s CEMS and vessel performance optimization solutions.
In August Hoppe Marine announced a strategic collaboration with AVL Analytical Technologies to introduce a new generation of CEMS to the maritime industry.
The initiative combines Hoppe Marine’s long established expertise in maritime instrumentation and digital vessel solutions, with AVL Analytical Technologies’ capabilities in emissions measurement technology and gas analysis expertise.
Other speakers in the session will explore how operators can upgrade existing vessels to improve efficiency, enable fuel flexibility, extend asset life, and meet evolving regulatory requirements.
Interestingly, alongside his professional role Altenbach is an active volunteer on the historic icebreaker STETTIN – the subject and venue for the Technical Tour on the final day of the 47th Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference, in Hamburg 8-10 December.
