Decarbonising Ireland's Maritime Industry: Assessing Technology Options

📅 Tues 19th November 2024

🕑 10:00 - 13:00
📍 Conrad Hotel Dublin & online 

The IMDO are pleased to invite you to participate in the SMARTDEC Workshop “decarbonisation technologies for the maritime sector in the Atlantic Area”. 

The maritime transport sector plays a pivotal role for the economy and competitiveness of the Atlantic area, yet it remains a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving the ambitious goal of reducing these emissions requires collaborative efforts and concrete actions. To this end, this workshop will bring together technology providers, developers, and end-users to discuss the primary focus of innovation and development needs towards neutrality in the near future.

SMARTDEC is a European Project co-funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area that aims to create and develop an Atlantic network of the maritime transport sector to provide the tools, knowledge and structure needed to rapidly meet the challenge of reducing the pollutant emissions of the waterborne transportation in the Atlantic Area (AA). This joint initiative gathers key actors from different regions in Ireland, France, Portugal & Spain that will be organised as hubs with a quadruple helix approach in which research & academia, policy makers, society and the industry (clusters, SMEs & start-ups) will collaborate to develop common strategies to achieve the decarbonisation of the maritime transport sector. SMARTDEC will boost the innovation capacity of decarbonisation of the maritime transport sector by promoting the adoption of promising technological solutions currently available and validated to match with relevant end-users. https://smartdec.eu/
