At POSEIDON, we are committed to accelerating maritime decarbonisation and advancing energy efficiency in the shipping industry.
The project recently showcased its pioneering work at the International Congress of Naval and Maritime Industry Engineering, where Alejandro Luna García-Valenzuela (Project Manager) and Fernando de Miquel Moral (Environmental and Economic Analyst) participated in the panel on decarbonisation and new fuels at the Navantia Hall in Gijón
During the session, the POSEIDON team highlighted the project’s innovative approach through a Life Cycle Cost (LCC) assessment of Fast Response Energy Storage Systems (FRESS) for ships. FRESS technology delivers rapid bursts of power to support cleaner and more efficient maritime transport.
This LCC analysis demonstrates how economic viability and environmental sustainability can be aligned when evaluating emerging energy storage solutions. The project is now focused on integrating onboard testing and combining LCC with environmental impact assessments (LCA) to guide smarter design and deployment decisions.
As part of its commitment to supporting the broader EU maritime decarbonisation agenda, the project aligns closely with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Greenhouse Gas Strategy, the European Commission’s initiatives on green maritime transport, and the work of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA).
POSEIDON remains dedicated to fostering innovation and shaping a sustainable maritime future.
