The Federal Government’s Mobility and Fuels Strategy (MFS) is the central platform for shaping the energy transition in the transport sector and thus for achieving energy and climate protection policy goals. NOW GmbH is tasked with supporting the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) in the further development of the MFS and specific funding measures for its implementation. In particular, it supports the implementation of maritime funding programmes for equipping and converting seagoing vessels to use LNG as a marine fuel and the ‘BordstromTech’ funding guideline for reducing ship emissions in seaports and inland ports.
NOW GmbH also supports project implementations for fuel cells in maritime applications as part of the National Innovation Programme for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology (NIP). The cross-project innovation cluster e4ships is also driving forward the regulatory work that is relevant for the use of fuel cells on board sea-going and inland waterway vessels.
The technological options for zero-emission shipping are very diverse. Depending on the type of ship and operating profile, ship energy systems can be optimally combined with each other depending on the various fuel options in order to pave the way for the maritime energy transition in terms of climate protection. The factsheet on ship propulsion systems and fuels summarises the most important aspects.
