𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚'𝐬 𝐂𝐒𝐋 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩, a prominent operator of dry bulk carriers, has announced plans to construct the 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝'𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜, 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲-𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐤 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫. Scheduled for construction in 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, this innovative 11,000 dwt vessel aims to spearhead the company's commitment to modernize its fleet and significantly reduce emissions. The ship will feature a cutting-edge hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, complemented by one of the most sophisticated battery installations ever seen on a bulk carrier. With approximately half of its energy sourced from shore power and battery storage, the vessel is poised for eco-friendly operations. Moreover, future enhancements are anticipated to equip the ship for fully electric operations, marking a significant stride in sustainable maritime transportation. #CSLGroup #ElectricShip #BulkCarrier #MaritimeInnovation #SustainableShipping #BatteryTechnology #EmissionsReduction #ModernFleet #ShorePower #DieselElectricHybrid NC: The Maritime Executive

Battery powered locomotives fitted with MEDHA control system
Watco's new battery-powered switching locomotives have exceeded expectations by reducing carbon emissions, fuel and maintenance expenses, and the amount of lube oil and coolant used. I think this is a railway innovation for the books! #BatteryPoweredTrains #Rail #RailwayInnovation

Can tanker #shipping be decarbonised? Yes, it can! In the latest breakthrough for #shorepower in Europe, Swedish vessel operator TERNTANK and the Port of Gavle have successfully connected a tanker vessel to shoreside electricity using one of our shore power connection systems. The Tern Fors, a 15,000-dwt chemical tanker built in 2022, was connected for three hours to power its cargo pumps during unloading, and consumed a total of 1,424 kWh of energy. Speaking to Riviera Maritime Media Ltd, the vessel's chief engineer, Robert Friborg, said: "It was a completely magical feeling at the moment when we switched to shore power. It felt like we were experiencing something groundbreaking." Sweden has long been a shore power trailblazer, first installing the technology – also supplied by yours truly – at a passenger ferry berth at the Port of Gothenburg back in the 1980s. We've pioneered the introduction of ship- and shore-based shore power systems worldwide, including the world’s first such system for use with tanker vessels at the Port of Long Beach in 2009.

#HotOffThePress - We will supply an integrated hybrid propulsion solution for three new self-discharging cargo vessels being built at the Royal Bodewes shipyard for the Norwegian shipowner Aasen Shipping. The ships will also feature the Wärtsilä 25 engine as part of the solution. A similar hybrid propulsion solution has been delivered to two earlier Aasen Shipping vessels. These ships have successfully operated with the hybrid propulsion solution for almost two years, and this success was a key element in the consideration for the contract of the new vessels. “We are delighted to have received this repeat order for our hybrid solution. The combination of the highly efficient and flexible Wärtsilä 25 engine with batteries provides both optimised operations and environmental sustainability. The ships can use electrical battery power when in harbour and for low-load operations, and then switch to the main engines for transit. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with both Aasen Shipping and Royal Bowedes on our shared commitment to decarbonising marine operations.” - Stefan Nysjö, Vice President of Power Supply, Wärtsilä Marine Power.

It's one thing to test prototype zero-emissions locomotives on paper, and quite another thing to test them under real operating conditions and in all sorts of weather. https://lnkd.in/exNVs_p4

In the rail industry, hydrogen-powered trains are like a Rorschach test. To some, it represents the future of rail transportation. To others, it looks like a big, shiny distraction. In the quest to decarbonize the transportation sector—the largest source of greenhouse-gas emissions in the United States—electric cars and trucks tend to dominate the conversation. But to reach the Biden administration’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, other forms of transportation, including passenger and freight trains, will need to decarbonize, too. The best way to do that is the subject of growing debate among regulators, industry, and activists.

🚂 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀! 🌱 We want to shed a light on the FLXdrive by Railsponsible member Wabtec, the world’s first 100% battery-powered heavy-haul locomotive for mainline service. This technology is revolutionizing the rail and mining industries: - 🌿 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 & 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: Equipped with a robust 7 MWh battery, the FLXdrive slashes fuel costs and reduces environmental footprints, enabling cost-effective sustainability in rail transport. - 🌍 𝗨𝗽𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: By electrifying transport in raw material extraction, the FLXdrive significantly curtails emissions at the very beginning of the supply chain. Great news for all companies using these raw materials further down the supply chain ! 🎉 A big shoutout to Wabtec Corporation for driving forward with such an innovative solution! The FLXdrive is a great real-world example of our mission at Railsponsible to decarbonize the rail industry throughout the supply chain.

MIT Technology Review just posted this interesting article about some of the challenges with decarbonizing rail transport. My colleague Will Kirby and I provided insights into some of those challenges as part of this piece. Let me know your thoughts. I believe that access to this version requires a subscription to the MIT Technology Review but a free copy is currently available on the Govtech web site (https://lnkd.in/eJ--D72f)
