About
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.
AENEAS will provide solutions to improve overall energy efficiency….
….and drastically lower emissions of waterborne transport vessels
​
To achieve this mission, AENEAS will develop three innovative electric Energy Storage Solutions (ESS) for waterborne transport, which are advanced beyond the traditional battery systems:
How?
Objectives
O1: Finetuning of requirements to bring SSB, SC and hybrid SSB/SC based ESSs in different waterborne transport applications to TRL 5, and definition of the use cases.
O2: Employ simulation and modelling platforms to develop innovative ESS concepts for marine applications with optimal control and energy management strategies and bringing them to TRL 5.
O3: Developing modules/packages of solid-state battery and supercapacitor with multiple cells and optimized balance of plant.
O4: Develop innovative SSB, SC and SSB/SC hybrid ESS downscaled testing, validation and upscaling with flexible HIL test bench.
O5: Assess environmental benefits, costs and safety issues of the ESS, and compare them with traditional battery systems.
O6: Define decarbonization strategies for future maritime applications based on EU/international CO2 legislations.
