The aim of the programme is to map, develop, and use alternative energy sources in maritime operations and support the decarbonisation of the Nordic maritime sector.
The Nordic countries have strong presence in the maritime field as owners, operators, ship designers, builders and providers of both associated hardware and software as well as fuels. The Nordic countries are today on a per capita basis major maritime actors both in terms of operating and owning ships as well as having thriving maritime clusters involved in shipbuilding, hull design, equipment and marine engines.
Transport – and especially maritime transport – is considered one of the hardest sectors of the economy to decarbonize. Since the Nordic region has a high ratio of renewable energy in its energy mix already, transport becomes one of the biggest remaining challenges.
The aim of the programme is to map, develop, and use alternative energy sources in maritime operations and support the decarbonisation of the Nordic maritime sector.
