Challenges

In our collaborative process, strategic partners have shared with us the technical challenges they are currently facing to achieve their eco-transition.
Innovative companies are invited to collaborate in addressing these challenges with their solutions.

Data & AI

Data and AI can deeply support the decarbonization of the maritime industry by optimizing processes and operations.

 

How can AI be used to improve traffic flow at port entrances and exits?

 

In addition to open discussions on the expected impact of data, companies participating are encouraged to present their solutions to answer this challenge.  To provide a clearer focus, the specific case of the Marseille port can be assessed.

Carbon Capture

Members of the New Energies Coalition, including CMA CGM, are actively seeking carbon capture and utilization solutions. The chosen solution will undergo a feasibility study followed by a Proof of Concept (POC) within the Coalition.

 

All solutions are welcome, including:

  • Methods to valorize new processes to reduce CO² emissions
  • Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) to replace fossil fuels
  • CCU fuels to transport & store renewable/low carbon energy
  • Techniques for permanently storing CO²
  • Any innovative solutions you wish to introduce to prominent stakeholders in the maritime industry.

Reaching a Vessel's Decarbonization

The decarbonization of the maritime industry will rely on a mix of new energy sources.

Participants are invited to discuss and provide detailed insights into how their solutions and expertise could support the evolution of an iconic vessel from 80% decarbonized to 100% decarbonized.
Participants can introduce their specific technologies and enter into discussions with naval architects and the engineering team working on this vessel.
