On 7 September, the Partnership on Zero-Emission transport board adopted its strategy enabling Europe to demonstrate deployable zero emission maritime and inland ships by 2030.
As informed, the Partnership will provide and demonstrate zero-emission solutions for all main ship types and services before 2030, which will enable zero-emission waterborne transport before 2050.
Yesterday the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda for the Partnership on #ZeroEmissionWaterborne Transport was adopted!
Now we can start our work towards enabling zero-emission waterborne transport before 2050

In addition, the Partnership will:
- Develop and demonstrate deployable technological solutions which will be applicable for the decarbonisation and the elimination of other harmfull emissions of main ship types and services;
- Facilitate the implementation of economically viable European new technologies and concepts regarding zero-emission waterborne transport, to strengthen the competitiveness of european industries in growing green ship technology markets and provide the capability to re-enter markets presently dominated by Europe’s competitors;
- Facilitate the development and implementation of regulations and policies at national and international level, including the development of standards to enable the implementation of technological solutions for zero-emission waterborne transport by 2030 at the latest;
- Facilitate the uptake of innovative zero-emission waterborne transport technologies and solutions within the European waterborne sector, supporting economic growth and european employment.
Following evaluation, a project is assigned a percentage of funding from the European Union with the rest of the funding and resources coming from the members of the project consortium. The first calls for proposals in the framework of the Partnership have been launched in June 2021.
