SAFeCRAFT’s overall goal is to develop and demonstrate the safety and viability and accelerate the adoption of Sustainable Alternative Fuels (SAFs) in waterborne energy transport.
It demonstrates four technologies, acting as SAF enablers for different types of oceangoing and short sea shipping vessels, both newly built and retrofitted.
SAFs used will be demonstrated on a bulk carrier and assessed and validated through detailed desktop studies for four other types of vessels typical in EU ports.
For the demo vessel, H2 will be used as the primary fuel source for a Generator Set providing power to a shaft motor (Power-Take-In) in parallel with the M/E, thus covering part of ship’s propulsion needs.
Fuel cell stacks &
marine-type battery packs
Internal combustion M/E (for newbuildings)
Internal combustion PTI generator similar to the demo
These SAF enabling power train systems will be analyzed in-depth, using specific KPIs for safety, energy efficiency, environmental impact and techno-economic feasibility.
SAFeCRAFT A-Z approach in utilizing SAFs, including bunkering, storage, handling and fuel consumption onboard, and the issuance of Approval in Principle for the engineering and design processes, will accelerate their implementation.
Three societal objectives will be served:
Facilitating the creation of highly skilled jobs,
Economic growth in the EU by development of new technologies and regulatory standards for waterborne transport,
Reduction of the environmental footprint and acceleration of the transition to SAFs.
