Description

ZHENIT aims to reduce up to 25% the overall ship primary energy need. fully unlocking on-board waste heat (WH) recovery potential developing and validating solutions both in the lab and on-board to valorise WH at different temperatures/from different sources and for different end-product (WH-to-X) properly coupled with alternative propulsion systems (wingsail), ICT monitoring/energy management solutions and thermal energy storages. ZHENIT recognizes the need of full on-board WHR to decarbonize the shipping sector, particularly looking at 2030 targets. The project therefore proposes integrated WH-to-X solutions deliberately designed for rapid market roll-out towards the ambitious goal of zero-WH vessels.
