A Practical Plan For A Zero-Emission Marine Ecosystem
Sometimes a revolution starts from simple beginnings – in this case, by bringing together a group of experts in shipping, energy and propulsion and giving them a blank piece of paper to create something new. This is how a practical concept for making clean shipping a reality, known as ZEEDS (Zero Emission Energy Distribution at Sea), was born.
The need for a concept like ZEEDS is clear. Shipping, carrying over 90 percent of global trade, is vital to the smooth functioning of our daily lives. But most ships still burn heavy fuel oil, which contains contaminants like sulphur and nitrogen, meaning they create a fair amount of pollution. In fact, shipping accounts for some two to three per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Wärtsilä partners Grieg Edge to build worldâs first green ammonia tanker
21 Dec 2020
Maritime technology group Wärtsilä on Friday (18 December) said it will be jointly running a project with Grieg Edge, the innovation hub of Norwegian shipping group Grieg Star, to launch an ammonia-fuelled tanker that produces no greenhouse gas emissions by 2024
With Norwegian government support worth NOK 46.3 million NOK (USD 5.3 million) under the Pilot-E funding scheme, the partnership aims to build the world’s first green ammonia fuelled tanker.
The MS Green Ammonia will be a vital link in the new green ammonia value chain and the vessel will start sailing in 2024 to set a new benchmark for future low emission vessels.

Finnish maritime technology firm Wärtsilä and Grieg Edge, the innovation hub of Norwegian shipping group Grieg Star, are working on a joint project to launch an ammonia-fuelled tanker producing no greenhouse gas emissions by 2024.
With Norwegian government support worth 46.3 million NOK (4.4 million EUR), the partnership aims to build what will be the world s first green ammonia fuelled tanker. The MS Green Ammonia project is the result of a Nordic industrial collaboration group founded from the Zeeds (Zero Emissions Energy Distribution at Sea) initiative, Wärtsilä said.
Pilot-E, the Norwegian funding scheme will support the project with a NOK 46,3 million grant.
