📋 Tender Overview
Propulsion Of Ships With E-Methanol In Favour Of The Decarbonisation Of Naval Transport
Demonstrating Synthetic Methanol As Fuel For The Decarbonisation Of Shippingsynthetic Methanol Is A Promising Fuel For The Shipping Industry As It Has The Potential To Significantly Reduce The Sector~S Greenhouse Gas Emissions. However, Further Research Needs To Be Conducted On Innovative Production Technologies And Efficient Implementation Of The Whole Value Chain. The Eu-Funded Poseidon Project Aims To Address This Gap By Developing And Testing Several Solutions To Create Entirely New Value Chains, From Feedstock To Ship Engines. The Project Will Assess Two Complementary Co2 Valorisation Routes. Additionally, It Will Develop An Innovative Power To Synthetic Methanol Technology Which Will Be Demonstrated On A Test Platform. Finally, The Produced Fuel Will Be Tested In Ships Engines, And The Project Will Lay The Groundwork For Value Chain Implementation At Key Eu Ports.

Demonstrating synthetic methanol as fuel for the decarbonisation of shipping
Synthetic methanol is a promising fuel for the shipping industry as it has the potential to significantly reduce the sector's greenhouse gas emissions. However, further research needs to be conducted on innovative production technologies and efficient implementation of the whole value chain. The EU-funded POSEIDON project aims to address this gap by developing and testing several solutions to create entirely new value chains, from feedstock to ship engines. The project will assess two complementary CO2 valorisation routes. Additionally, it will develop an innovative power to synthetic methanol technology which will be demonstrated on a test platform. Finally, the produced fuel will be tested in ships engines, and the project will lay the groundwork for value chain implementation at key EU ports
