Shipping accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. So near-shore electrification matters.
Hybrid-electric is already practical for ferries, tugs, and offshore support. Batteries work alongside generators or fuel cells. Smarter energy management makes the whole system more efficient and flexible.
Predictable routes make electrification practical. Ferries run fixed schedules and short legs. That makes charging windows clear and grid planning easier.
Long-haul cargo is another challenge. But for coastal and passenger routes, electric reduces fuel use and local emissions, with clear operational upsides today.
If you're working on something that will help accelerate the energy transition, let's talk. I help cleantech innovators turn smart process design into patent strategies that make growth possible.
