Description

This project is dedicated to addressing the pressing issues of Black Carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the maritime industry, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution. The overarching objective is to provide the maritime sector with an effective system for capturing and neutralizing up to 98% of their Black Carbon and GHG emissions, thereby driving substantial positive change throughout the industry as more ships and ports adopt this innovative solution.

The core project activities can be succinctly summarized as follows:

  1. Creation and customization of a state-of-the-art testing facility.
  2. Definition of crucial parameters and the detailed functionality for AI software, followed by its development and delivery.
  3. Design of two specialized air filters with specific parameters.
  4. Utilization of cutting-edge 3D printing technology to produce unique components for these filters.
  5. The assembly of filters into the testing facility, enabling the development of an integration methodology for their application within specific ship or port configurations.

To successfully realize these project objectives and activities, the Project Promoter will engage in strategic outsourcing for the manufacturing of test equipment to their precise specifications and design. Additionally, they will seek external expertise for the technical integration of these specific filters, all while defining the parameters necessary for seamless artificial intelligence integration. The inclusion of an aging diesel generator within the testing facility is crucial to creating a real-world testing environment that ensures these filters are rigorously evaluated under authentic conditions. This project signifies a significant leap forward in the journey toward a cleaner, more sustainable maritime industry.
