Decarbonization and Maritime Sustainability Researcher

The maritime industry is undergoing significant transformations in its quest to achieve net zero emissions. Cleaner fuels are becoming more accessible, while alternative propulsion methods and enhanced efficiency offer additional cost-saving opportunities. Advancements in connectivity and IoT are enabling predictive maintenance, sophisticated route optimization, and just-in-time arrivals.

DNV stands as an independent partner to both ship owners and regulators, committed to providing guidance and insights. To address these critical topics in maritime sustainability, we are offering the following projects in the Research department:

Assess the challenges faced by ship owners in complying with maritime regulations. Identify areas for improvement and develop strategies for effective compliance.

Project CCS: Assessment of Carbon Capture and Storage Solutions for Green Corridors

Investigate the feasibility of carbon capture and storage solutions for green corridors. Evaluate the technical and economic viability of these solutions and identify potential barriers to implementation.

Project LCA: Environmental Impacts of Antifouling and Plastics

Conduct a lifecycle assessment of antifouling and plastics in the maritime industry. Evaluate the environmental impacts of these substances and identify opportunities for reduction or elimination.
