About the Topic
This talk will cover a brief history of alternative fuels in the maritime context and an exploration of how the maritime world will electrify in much the same way as the over-the-road world electrified between 2005-2025. The talk will also cover an analysis of which maritime applications and operators will adopt more easily/quickly and why others will take much longer to adopt novel fuel types. As the lecturer is a Co-Founder of a company with Norwegian origins (Entheos), these topics will be contextualized geographically, delineating clearly the different approaches that Europe and the US have taken to maritime electrification.
Note 1 from header: From article, “Electrification offers cleaner maritime transportation,” published by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
