CLEANSHIP - Welcome to the CLEANSHIP Project

Project start date: January 2024. Expected project end date: December 2026.

We aim to demonstrate emission reduction potentials under realistic sailing conditions with innovative on-board solutions.

The maritime industry is actively collaborating to achieve climate-neutral shipping by 2050. Currently, the shipping sector's total CO₂ emissions account for 3% of global CO₂ emissions, and we look toward a future where approximately 90% of the world's goods will be transported by sea. Therefore, it is crucial to act now. Many initiatives are already underway, and with continued technological development, we can accelerate the implementation of green solutions in shipping.

This is why the CLEANSHIP project has been initiated. The project is driven by partners who see great potential in innovative solutions that can contribute to a greener future by reducing the shipping sector's share of global CO₂ emissions. The goal is to reduce harmful emissions from ships through a data-driven approach.

We will conduct full-scale demonstrations on Uni-Tankers ships to showcase the impact of:

• Biofuels: Reduction of CO₂ and Black Carbon (BC).
• Energy Saving Devices: Technologies such as propeller coating and hull paint.
• Operational Measures: Optimization of engine load and speed management.

Value Creation and Application

Operational-, fuel consumption-, and emissions data from our demonstrations will form the basis for best practices and recommendations for shipowners and regulators, who can proactively use these insights in their CO₂ reduction strategies.

Partnership

The CLEANSHIP project is led by the Danish Technological Institute with the partners:

• Uni-Tankers
• Green Instruments A/S
• Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping
• Danish Maritime
• Danish Shipping

The project is supported by the Environmental Protection Agency's MUDP.
