Charging for the future: The rise of hybrid propulsion systems Dr. Torsten Büssow, Managing Director, Electrical & Power Systems Business, Wärtsilä The marine market is in a move. The decarbonization targets are changing the way we look at a ship propulsion system, that have been like this for decades now. What is the future operational profile? What is the future power source? Will there be more than one? What fuels do we burn? All or these uncertainties you can address already today with a alternative propulsion systems, which will in most cases be hybrid. The presentation explains several hybrid systems we are building at the moment and summarizes our experience of 70 hybrid vessels from Wartsila. |

Technological considerations of ammonia as a marine fuel Peter Sanders, Senior Process Engineer, Høglund Operations at Høglund Marine Solutions This presentation will examine the technological considerations that must be overcome on board a ship before widespread adoption of green ammonia as a marine fuel can begin, looking at the technical, operational, commercial, regulatory and environmental aspects such as health and safety (toxicity), materials elections (corrosiveness), engine requirements (combustibility), and emission prevention (engines and fuel system). |
|
14:00 |
Ammonia as a Marine Fuel is Coming Closer to Materialization René Sejer Laursen, Director – Fuels & Technology, Global Sustainability Copenhagen, ABS Ammonia (NH3 ) is identified as a zero-carbon fuel that can enter the global market relatively quickly and help meet the GHG reduction target for 2050 set by the IMO. Ammonia offers ship owners and operators a zero-carbon tank-to-wake emissions profile, regardless of the source of the fuel. During this presentation you will hear more on the consideration of ammonia as a marine fuel option in both the near-term and long-term. |

16:20 |
Economic and Ecological Considerations for Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion Systems Karsten Hochkirch, Head of Ship Performance Center, DNV Wind propulsion is well known and has propelled ships for millennia. However, with the advent of fossil-fuel powered ships, wind energy lost its importance for cargo transport almost 100 years ago. Rising fuel prices and a society being more aware of the consequences of CO2 emissions fuels the revitalization this energy source and a variety of wind assisted propulsion systems are on the market today. Key factors for success of wind assisted propulsion are discussed and a case study for a multipurpose vessel is used as illustration. |
