Project - SEAGLOW

Project Start: April 2024. Expected Project Completion: April 2026.

SEAGLOW (Sustainable Energy Applications for Green and Low-impact Operation of small-scale fishing boats in the Baltic and North Sea basins) aims to test a range of technologies, each contributing to more sustainable fishing for small boats.

The project demonstrates five technological applications, including hybrid electric drivetrains, methanol-powered engines, polymer-based surface coatings, and low-cost sensors to influence sailing patterns. The ambition is to show that the combination of these technologies can be a game-changer, effectively reducing fuel consumption, ultimately benefiting both the fishing industry and the environment.

Danish Technological Institute’s role in SEAGLOW

Danish Technological Institute focus on the project is to implement and test relevant solutions under real maritime conditions with potential for replication. We contribute with concrete energy and environmental measurements during sailing, map the vessel's operational efficiency, and assess the impact of energy-saving measures. Through close collaboration with local fishing vessels, it is ensured that the solutions are economically and environmentally sustainable and scalable to others. In the long term, this creates a positive effect on both the environment and the economy.

We can:

Deployment and Testing of Solutions: 

  • Danish Technological Institute plays a central role in the SEAGLOW project by leading the implementation of energy-saving technologies on fishing vessels. With our technical expertise, we ensure that advanced solutions are tested and validated under real operating conditions in the Baltic and North Seas.

Monitoring of Pilot Projects:

  • Danish Technological Institute is responsible for collecting and analyzing data on the performance and environmental impacts of the technology. Monitoring is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of the technologies and identifying opportunities for improvement, which helps optimize the solutions for broader application.

Data Collection:

  • Through close collaboration with local fishermen, Danish Technological Institute ensures that relevant solutions are developed, which can be integrated into existing operational practices.
