Sustainovation with ICO Terminals - Lunch and Learn
How do we deal with the challenges surrounding shore power? Why is standardization so important? And what will we achieve with collaboration? Find out together with Fanni Arvai, Innovation & Sustainability Manager at International Car Operators and passionate about changing the maritime industry in a positive way with a vision for a more inclusive and environmentally conscious future.
Mobilyze Renewable Energy Units (HBEs) with Robert Gunsing
Renewable Energy Units - Hernieuwbare Brandstof Eenheden - are a Dutch system of certificates based on the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Under the system, parties that produce liquid fossil fuels for transport have an obligation from the government to purchase REUs. Per year, €1 billion REUs are traded in the Netherlands. You can earn between 4.5 and 18 eurocents per kWh ‘sold’ to a vessel, for example when using shore power.
Metasorbex™ carbon-neutral Methanol with Joe Menner
Metasorbex™ is a startup in the chemical industry that offers technology to produce carbon-neutral and cost-effective methanol. Existing feedstocks or even waste streams from hydrogen industry can be used. Current cost for one metric ton of methanol in US is $400 to $500. Metasorbex’s technology could provide not only a carbon-neutral, but cheaper form of methanol. Maritime industry - in particular in EU - is most interesting due to incentives and penalties on CO2.
BAM Amsterdam Cruise Terminal with Dick and Rick
On May 10th, Port of Amsterdam awarded the contract for the realization of shore power at Cruise Port Amsterdam (CPA) to Powercon A/S and with BAM as subcontractor. Dick van Veen and Rick van Akkeren - BAM Business Unit Heavy Duty Charging - explain in detail about the project and the challenges that they are facing. Building the infrastructure that can host large cruise vessels and support the heavy electrical equipment is therefore a daunting task, all of which is discussed in this video.

Watch this lunch and learn by EOPSA together with General Electric, in which we discuss the onshore and vessel aspects of shore power, including microgrids and using the Decarbonizer to determine the costs for shore power for your vessel.
Shore-Link with Levan Chikviladze
Ports are the start and end of every vessel’s journey. Because of this, onshore power supply undeniably plays a big part of the decarbonization of the maritime industry. Creating a network of onshore power supply in ports around the world is a tremendous but necessary task. One of the companies providing the technology for this transition is ShoreLink. Watch this lunch and learn by Shorelink, presented by Levan Chikviladze, to learn more.

FCWave - 200 kW Hydrogen Fuel Cell with Thomas Petersen
Join Thomas Therkild Petersen as he presents the FCWave, a modular 200 kW hydrogen fuel cell for marine purposes made by Ballard. It is the only DNV type approved hydrogen fuel cell on the market. At the size of a large cabinet, it can be directly integrated into most engine rooms without a hitch. Watch this video to gain insights on one of the best hydrogen fuel cell systems available for the maritime industry.
Smart Vessel Optimizer with Bram van den Boom
Join Bram van den Boom as we learn the benefits of using Smart Vessel Optimizer, an analytics tool that offers performance dashboards to increase operational efficiency. No need to change your systems; it makes use of already existing but many times unused signals installed on board. The more vessels that you have connected, the better your insights.
Decarbonizer Tutorial
This tutorial will show you how to use the Decarbonizer in order to get a personalized roadmap to decarbonize your vessel. In just a few clicks, you receive freely available insights into which carbon reduction measures are best suited for your vessel.
Hullvane with Bruno Bouckaert
Join Bruno Bouckaert as we discuss 'Hull Vane', an energy saving device for medium-speed and fast displacement vessels. These include superyachts, naval ships, patrol vessels, offshore vessels, ferries, roro vessels and expedition cruise vessels. Full scale trials show confirmed savings of 5-25% on suitable ships.
Methanol as clean fuel
Learn about methanol, the simplest alcohol in the universe which has the highest hydrogen to carbon ratio of any liquid fuel under ambient atmospheric conditions. It can reduce SOx emission by 99%, NOx by 60% and PM by 95%.
Hull Vane – the solution to improve ships' efficiency, performance and seakeeping
The patented Hull Vane® is a proven energy-saving and seakeeping device to achieve the highest level of performance on intermediate-speed vessels. The Hull Vane® consists of a transom-mounted submerged wing - or hydrofoil -, which converts energy of the stern wave into forward thrust. It reduces fuel consumption between 5-25%, emissions, powering requirements, noise and motions in waves.
Ecospeed with Martijn van Ruiten
Join Martijn van Ruiten as we discuss Ecospeed, a proven, non-toxic, cost-effective alternative technology for underwater ship hull protection and biofouling control. It can save up to 10-25% of fuel consumption and emissions, some specific cases even claim a reduction as high as 40% or more.
Fuel EU with Poul Woodall
Join Poul Woodall as we discuss the challenges of the upcoming Fuel EU regulations. It is one of the most stringent upcoming rules and regulations in terms of emissions for the shipping industry.
Inside The World's First Electric Cargo Ship - Yara Birkeland
Dubbed ‘the Tesla of the seas’ this fully-electrified, fully-autonomous cargo ship is already making waves. The Yara Birkeland has a 7MWh battery, charged by Norwegian hydro power. She can carry a little over 100 containers. The ship cost about 25 million dollars, about three times a “conventional ship price”, but will nonetheless cut OPEX for Yara by 90%.
Thailand builds a massive floating hydro-solar farm
Thailand is close to completing one the world's biggest hydro-floating solar hybrid farms on the surface of a dam, part of steps towards boosting renewable energy production after years of criticism for reliance on fossil fuels.

Will Renewables end up as landfill?
Solar and Wind energy are growing at a truly astonishing pace on every continent. But in the race for global supremacy in the power generation sector have we neglected to consider how we will deal with millions of panels and turbines when they come to the end of their useful lives? Are we storing up yet another environmental problem?

What Is Green Hydrogen And Will It Power The Future?
Hydrogen is a clean-burning molecule, meaning that it can help to decarbonize a range of sectors that have proved hard to clean up in the past. But today, most hydrogen is produced from CO2-emitting fossil fuels. Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity, known as green hydrogen, could be the solution to cutting our carbon footprint. But first, it must overcome a number of challenges.
