Impact of FuelEU Maritime on solar PV for bulk carrier
With a CAPEX of $100,000, the payback period is around three years. Most savings come from fuel reduction, with additional benefits from EU ETS and FuelEU
They designed a solar and battery tech stack that can completely power a container ship at standard operating speeds. The transition to cleaner fuel is just one way to decarbonize the shipping industry. New retrofit technologies are emerging that can significantly reduce shipping emissions with less wait time.
Integrating solar technologies, like those developed by Tamesol, into maritime vessels offers a viable path toward reducing the industry's carbon footprint and operational costs.
The benefits of integrating solar energy into maritime transport extend beyond environmental conservation. Solar-powered ships experience reduced fuel consumption, leading to significant cost savings on long voyages.
(Tick all that apply) Despite being a hard-to-abate industry, shipping is witnessing an acceleration in the adoption of clean technologies. Solar is emerging as a particularly attractive option for integration into shipboard power systems due to its abundance, reliability and zero-emission profile.
