Please read this interesting study by the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping about battery powered deep sea shipping. Let’s make small incremental steps reducing emissions. Why not using battery energy storage for the hotel load / pumps / cranes while at anchor ⚓️ or in a port? Make zero-emission port calls? Peak shaving? Reducing stand-by generators? Store excess energy? Other applications? EST-Floattech | Energy Storage Solutions makes this possible. Containerised certified maritime energy storage is available. Shall we just start doing it or wait longer? Who is first moving?

My pre-feasibility study looks like this: Batteries can preferably be used for 1 or 2 charging cycles per day, deep-sea ships are sailing for about 14 days between two charging points At 6000 cycles and 2 cycles a day, batteries last 10 years With one cycle per 14 days: 200yrs Awkward

We need to start moving, Joep! We must face the fact that ICEs are relics of the past, and we can’t wait any longer. Let’s start with the low-hanging fruit and allow the industry to evolve so we can develop that silver bullet. Batteries are a great way to begin making those small incremental steps. Our containerized #hydrogen solution also utilizes batteries, and to be frank, we couldn’t do without them. Let’s start making those small steps. Who’s in?💪
