During its lifetime a ship will be designed, built, operated, and eventually dismantled – a textbook example of the linear economy. “A vessel, over its 20+ year lifespan, will be designed and built, operated, repaired, and eventually dismantled. Each of these activities is likely to take place in a different location, be carried out by …
THRUST is giving the energy transition on water a push forward The climate is warming faster today than any point in the past 2,000 years. If no action is taken, the global climate impact share of shipping is set to increase exponentially in the coming decades. THRUST (Towards Hydrogen-based Renewables Used for Ship Transportation) is …

e-Ammonia is a solution for deep sea shipping Synthetic fuels produced from electricity, or e-fuels, will play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions from long-distance truck transport, aviation and shipping. For deep sea shipping, synthetic ammonia is also an important option. Even though green hydrogen is needed to produce e-fuels, its applicability as a …

Green hydrogen is an essential part of the solution to decarbonise industries like the maritime industry that are difficult, expensive or resistant to change. But despite its potential it holds some drawbacks in its pure form. Of the range of hydrogen-carrying alternative fuels for the maritime industry, ammonia’s characteristics strike a good balance between production cost, volumetric …

In 2021, passengers can board a Rotterdam water taxi running on hydrogen. It will be the world’s first time on this scale that a commercial boat comes into operation running entirely on this zero-emission fuel. The hydrogen-water taxi is being developed by the SWIM consortium, initiated by Enviu as part of Enviu’s zero-emission shipping program …

Developing a business model to kickstart a hydrogen infrastructure in the maritime sector A couple of weeks ago the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences organized a hackathon together with THRUST. The aim of the hackaton was to accelerate the adoption of clean technologies and innovations for the maritime industry and to stimulate the transition towards …
Conventional fuels and fossil-fuel free alternatives are not yet competitive on a cost basis. Taking into account however the wider societal impact as well as future regulations and technological developments, they will become competitive on certain routes sooner than you may think. The THRUST Impact Model allows for a comparison between renewable, alternative and fossil …
THRUST and University of Oxford kick-off collaboration to find optimal green fuel and catalyst combinations for maritime applications. Many global, regional and national initiatives have the ambition to develop critical infrastructure that will help decarbonise the global economy by 2050.[1],[2] Renewable energy will inevitably play a paramount role in the new economy and hydrogen (H2) …
