AENEAS

To achieve climate neutrality, the European Green Deal sets an ambitious strategy for a 90 % reduction in transport emissions by 2050. This includes waterborne transport systems. In this context, the EU-funded AENEAS project will focus on increased and early deployment of climate-neutral energy storage solutions and significant electrification of shipping. Specifically, the project will provide solutions to improve overall energy efficiency and drastically lower energy consumption of waterborne transport vessels. It will develop three innovative electric energy storage solutions for waterborne transport: solid-state batteries, supercapacitors and a hybrid system. Moreover, it will define the pathway for these solutions for application in different ship types.
