Exciting times ahead as the #IFAT in Munich draws near, with a key topic this year - Adapting to the results of climate change. I would be happy to connect/reconnect with colleagues and network who will be in Munich for IFAT this year. #IFAT #IFATMunich #ClimateChange

LOGO DROP ⚓ Sustainable Marine Fuels, for Sustainable Maritime Transportation: 2-3 Oct in Porto, Portugal. You know it's real when the logo drops! (c/o Sam Pearce) This is a call out to the ~75% of my network in maritime and energy; esp. if you're working on decarbonising the maritime industry through sustainable marine fuel options (which is all of you 😁). SMF Fest 2024 is now open for partnerships and in true uncommon conferences style, this is no ordinary sponsorship. If you're into "branding opps", "booth placements" and "stage time" this is not the event for you. We focus on what money can't buy, and surprising you with what a "heavy industry" event can be. Partner privileges at SMF Fest include: 📌 A coveted seat on the advisory committee, helping shape the event and decide its direction 📌 First look at the evolution of SMF Confidence Index & Change Matrix 📌 Regular online interaction in between in-person editions (next workshop 26 Jun) 📌 Priority access & content contribution to the ship.energy platform 📌 An unforgettable time with your tribe because the 'Fest' in SMF Fest is about joy and building unique bonds, unlike at any other marine or energy event Drop me a DM if you're keen to find out more - happy to put you in touch with any of our past and current partners to hear it from the source.

To be prepared for the 2025 boating season, a must for the professionals in the Marine industry.

The Nordic HCT Conference 2024 is taking place on October 9. This years programme is now available. More than 200 have already signed for participation. It is possible to attend online. Key note topics and speakers are: - EU regulatory changes: Discover the latest updates on EU regulations affecting heavy transport, featuring expert insights from Pasi Moisio, a member of the EC expert group, and other leading specialists. - Electrification of heavy vehicles: Explore the developments in electrification, exploring the benefits and challenges of increased vehicle weights. Hear from industry leaders, including Thomas Fabian from ACEA, on vehicle perspectives, and Timo Saarenketo on infrastructure perspectives. - Current research and implementation: Gain an overview of ongoing research and implementation initiatives that are shaping the future of HCT. - Market-ready HCT vehicles: Learn about the HCT vehicles currently available on the market and their potential impact. My colleague from the Danish Road Safety Agency and I will take part of a session regarding the EMS2 (34,5 meter road train). See programme here: https://lnkd.in/d-VXkrw3

Are you aware of the quality of the air we breathe in every day? 🌬️ BRAL | Citizens Action Brussels, an urban movement striving for a sustainable Brussels, is investigating the air quality in Brussels with their new initiative ExpAIR. With their supplementary 24 measurement points, they are adding an extra layer to the primary measurement network. 🌐 Our TADA class in Saint-Josse is the godmother of one of the measurement points, which gave them the opportunity to learn more about air quality in a workshop by BRAL 💡 📊🔍 From the first, intermediate results of ExpAIR, we learn that... ...European air quality standards (40 µg/m³) are likely to be surpassed at several locations (but no annual average can be calculated yet). ..traffic and weather have a strong impact on air quality, with lower NO2 values in Summer than in September. ...the 24 additional measurement points of ExpAIR were proven to provide additional spatial coverage beyond the official measurement points, indicating that the ExpAIR initiative does contribute to the validation and improvement of NO2 modeling throughout the Brussels Region.

🌊 Exciting News: The uBlueTec Project is Officially Launched! 🚀 We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the uBlueTec project, a pioneering initiative that is set to revolutionize training skills on UW technologies for the blue economy  🌐 With the co-funding support of the European Union, uBlueTec is a collaborative effort that unites the strengths of 7 partners from various European countries. 🌟 Our Mission: to underscore the vital role of underwater technologies in advancing the blue economy. 🌊 We are dedicated to creating, testing and validating an innovative triple transition training and skills development model. This model emphasizes the acquisition of green, blue, and digital skills, which are essential for driving growth and sustainability in the blue economy sectors. Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting venture together! If you're passionate about the blue economy and the potential of underwater technologies, let's connect and join forces to make uBlueTec a resounding success. #ubluetec #blueskills #blueconomy #uwtechnologies #EMFAF #OurOcean #BlueInvest Ατλαντίς Συμβουλευτική Α.Ε. | Atlantis Consulting SA  Laboratory for Underwater Systems and Technologies Università della Calabria ANP/WWF Beia Consult International CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

Research, teaching and publications are the main tasks of a PhD Student and I will proudly present my 4th publication during the ASME Congress in London this week. Essentially technical, here we compare CO2, CO, NO, NOx, O2 and Smoke Number emissions of a drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (specifically developed by Neste and Virent). The work carried out with and by Jean-Louis Champion's Bearcat teams is enabling us to take our industry to the next level, with the prospect of 100% SAF "Drop-In" within the next few years. This approach is important because most of the aircraft that will be flying in 2050 have already been developed. A "Drop-In" grade is therefore very likely to be the only option for the vast majority of the fleet in 2050. Reminder: a relevant technical solution is never sufficient on its own, and future publications will focus on the societal aspect of decarbonizing aviation. https://lnkd.in/eDGXiu37

The second part of the demonstration dealt with innovation in route planning, supported by data from the Flemish Waterway and CoVadem, optimizing travel routes and lock scheduling for efficiency and safety, avoiding unnecessary waiting times, and potentially reducing fuel consumption.

🎤 Our founder and CEO, Petter, recently shared his story at the TEDxArendal stage, revealing the amazing potential of #hydrofoil technology and what inspired him to embrace and explore this space. Now, this insightful talk is live for you to watch! We want to hear from you! 🌊 Share your thoughts on hydrofoil and tell us what sparked your interest. #HydrofoilInnovation #TEDxTalk #BoatingTech #FutureTech #JoinTheDiscussion
