WHISPER Wind Energy Harvesting for Ship Propulsion Assistance and Power
Coordinator: VERKIS HF (IS)
Long-distance maritime transport provides 80-90% of global trade, but strict regulations around NOx, SOx and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are set to cause major technological shifts. Whilst the pathway to achieve the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) target of 50% GHG reduction by 2050 is unclear, what is clear is the need to drastically reduce the industrys dependence on fossil fuels. Liquified natural gas (LNG) is reaching mainstream and provides 20-30% CO2 reduction and other alternative fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen or biofuels could decarbonise much further but face significa…
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €9.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31.
