energy efficiency in maritime transport

High-Tech Transport and Clean Energy System

Simple and affordable mobility systems; efficient, clean and safe technologies for power generation and propulsion; energy storage systems to optimize the use of renewable sources; biotechnology for clean energy conversion.

research team follows the trends in new technologies for the exploitation of renewable energy sources and explores the ways of applying these technologies in area of maritime affairs. The new technologies include solar energy application, fuel cells, wind capturing, mechanical energy from the motion of tides and waves.  The team investigates the production of energy from renewable resources, its distribution, storage and transformation, as well as its use for ship's propulsion and drive of other marine systems.
