Conference on Maritime Hydrogen and Marine Energy

We are pleased to invite you to learn about the latest updates on technology, policies and projects within the maritime hydrogen and marine energy industries.

This conference brings together world-leading players in the fields of maritime hydrogen technology and marine renewable energy. To ensure further development and future value creation, it is crucial to gather representatives from all corners of the industry: business, R&D, academia, finance and public enterprises.

Through knowledge sharing and working together, we will all contribute to solving technological challenges that will reduce global CO2 from maritime transport and help to deliver stable, sustainable and clean energy supply to island communities and coastal regions around the world.

Programme

10:00 - 10:15 Introduction and welcome. Maria Brandsøy, Business Developer, Ocean Hyway Cluster and Kai Stoltz, Business Development Manager, GCE Ocean Technology

PART 1: ZERO EMISSION VESSELS 10:15 - 11:00

10:15 Business Case: How to make zero emission profitable?
Presentation by Lars Erik Marcussen, Heidelberg Cement North Europe, Norway

10:30 The Green Fleet – A World Tour
A deep dive into the most mature low and zero-emission vessel projects around the world. Hydrogen, ammonia, LOHC and methanol powered vessels – find out how all these fuels will be making green waves in the very near future Presentation by Mark Purkis, Ocean Hyway Cluster.

10:40 Panel Discussion - How to choose the best hydrogen fuel for your vessel
Get an insight into choosing the right type of hydrogen fuel for your vessel directly from the global leaders making the first waves.

The discussion will look into: decision process behind choice of fuel, opportunities for rebuilding, the risk of choosing the “wrong fuel”, addressing the cost difference between fossil and zero-emission fuels.

11:00 Short break

PART 2: PARALELL SESSIONS 11:10 - 12:15

INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure is the backbone of our energy system. Decarbonising the maritime sector will require collaboration and coordination across sectors. How do we realise the required infrastructure?

• Infrastructure: A European view
  Speaker TBA
• Deep Dive Debate!
  Moderator: Gunnar Malm Gamlem, SINTEF

The first hydrogen-fuelled vessel is already afloat, but where and when and how will hydrogen and ammonia become available in scale? Studies suggest that 85% of the investments in alternative fuels will be required in production and infrastructure. Through conversation with players from both sides, we will ask:

• What are ports doing to offer climate neutral ammonia and H2 to ships?
• Are there synergies between production for land based industries and maritime?
• If industry cannot pay the price of climate neutral fuels, can shipping?
• How can a shipowner build a vessel for a fuel that is almost non-existent today?
• Will NH3 and H2 ever become commodities or is long term contracts preferred?

MARINE ENERGY

The endless motion of water in the oceans is a vast store of energy. This energy can be harnessed and used to generate electricity needed for our zero-emission societies. Great innovations are happening in the oceans, learn about some of them here:
