Green Deal Electrification - Electrification of sea-going vessels
report
This report, produced by TNO and MARIN, investigates the feasibility, benefits, and challenges of electrifying propulsion systems for oceangoing vessels. The study is part of the Dutch Green Deal program, aiming to validate emission reduction technologies for the maritime sector, with a focus on electrification as a pathway to meet ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets set by the IMO and the Dutch government. The report provides a nuanced, data-driven assessment of maritime electrification, highlighting both the potential and the limitations. While electrification can deliver environmental and operational benefits for certain vessel types, widespread adoption will require careful consideration of technical, economic, and operational factors, as well as further research into emerging technologies and infrastructure support.
