The ambitious NH3CRAFT project, which aims at fully designing, engineering, developing and demonstrating a next generation sustainable, commercially attractive and safe technology for high-quantity on-board storage of NH3 as marine fuel, held a two- day meeting on 30 June in Dresden, Germany. All the goals, plans, and objectives of all project Work Packages and Activities were presented by the respective leaders, in a series of interactive sessions with lively discussion and active participation of all attendants.

The whole consortium agreed that the vision of this project to pioneer the reduction of GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 and the eventual “elimination of total GHG emissions and air pollution” from shipping (SRIA for ZEWT goals) remaining consistent with the Paris Agreement is a cornerstone of the European Union’s strategy.

Hence, the NH3CRAFT consortium has the expertise, connections, and technological value to develop and implement a plan to ensure proper and widespread dissemination, exploitation and communication of the project and its results. This will, in turn, help achieve global goals of pushing NH3 as a safe and efficient alternative fuel for waterborne transport and through that reducing greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.

Last but not least the NH3CRAFT outputs will be influential to help Europe serve societal needs, maintain global maritime leadership, and support an innovative industry with highly skilled jobs, safe, efficient, and sustainable technological solutions, with new international standards, rules, and regulations.

WEGEMT also disseminated appropriate results from other research projects that is currently involved (MarLEM, LASTING, Mari4_YARD, ProdPhD, PANACEA, TRAVISIONS2022 and DT4GS)
