Zero Emission Marine – Virtual launch event

Zero Emission Marine launch event was successfully held on April 7th, 2022.

The event gathered close to 150 interested potential ecosystem members together. Below we have linked the presentation recordings, so that anyone interested in the ecosystem is able to hear the interesting speeches.

Zero Emission Marine is a research, development and innovation project co-funded by Business Finland through the challenge competition for leading companies and by Wärtsilä. The project enables a zero-emission marine ecosystem for the development of sustainable technology solutions. The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the marine sector by 60% by 2030 through unique maritime co-operation and all products from the ecosystem will be carbon-neutral or carbon-negative by 2050.

The launch event provided a comprehensive outlook to the Zero Emission Marine mission, streams and ecosystem co-operation opportunities through presentations and workshops. The project aims to create an ecosystem of over 200 organisations to drive the R&D for sustainable solutions.
