Alfa Laval Marine Division and Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping joined forces, signing a Strategic Corporate Partnership Agreement, to develop zero carbon solutions for the shipping industry.
Accordingly, the collaboration will focus on the development of low- and zero carbon technologies through joint projects and activities including (but not limited to) the development of systems needed to handle new green fuels or solutions to improve overall energy efficiency.
Alfa Laval will also be joining the Center’s Advisory Board providing strategic and technical guidance to Center activities going forward.
Referring to the joint project, CEO Bo Cerup-Simonsen in welcoming Alfa Laval as a partner to the Center explained that the decarbonization of the industry requires a change in the system of the sector; The change could be achieved through comprehensive collaboration across maritime and energy sectors.
Working in partnership, we will realize solutions that pave the way for carbon-neutral shipping in a manner that is practical and economically viable,
… says Søren Helmuth Jensen, Senior Vice President of the Alfa Laval Marine Division.
Concluding, the collaboration is already operational through the recently announced SOFC4Maritime, a project targeting optimal utilization of future green fuels via the application of SOFCs for power production on marine vessels, funded by the EUDP.
