Maritime decarbonisation is a central element of maritime sustainability. Shipping is recognised as the most efficient form of commercial transport in terms of CO2 emissions per tonne of cargo transported in one mile. However, due to the scale of the industry, maritime transport is still a significant contributor to the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions (around 3% of total global CO2 emissions).
As part of this Call for Proposals, ESA will support Feasibility Studies and Demonstration Projects under this ‘Announcement of Opportunities’ as a ‘Thematic for Proposals’:
Feasibility Studies allow successful teams to analyse, design and plan their intended service.
Demonstration Projects allow successful teams to put their intended service into practice. Teams will test their service in the market by running a pilot with significant users and, by the end of the project, the service should be operational.
