Germany invests in zero-emission shipping research

威力彩玩法

The German government has set aside 45 million euros for research in zero-emission ship engines to 鈥渕ake a significant contribution to the energy transition at sea鈥, the German economy and energy ministry (BMWi) says in a press release. The programme, dubbed Maritime Green Propulsion, aims to develop ships that run completely carbon-free and in a first step explores the use of so-called e-fuels made with renewable power. Germany鈥檚 maritime policy coordinator, Norbert Brackmann, said there was 鈥渁 sort of gold rush atmosphere鈥 for developing cleaner engines among engine manufacturers which now had to be assisted by clearer regulation and financial support.
