SEANERGETIC: Zero-Emission Shipping Report - Accelerating Maritime Decarbonization

Background

This report presents results of a study as part of the SEANERGETIC program funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) that examines the adoption of zero-emission shipping (ZES) in the Dutch Maritime Industry. The study analyzes the complex interactions of technological, economic, organizational, and institutional factors that shape investment and operational decisions.

Using a participatory Group Model Building approach hosted at Koninklijke Vereniging van Nederlandse Reders (KVNR, The Royal Association of Netherlands Shipowners), the research team engaged maritime stakeholders including Shipowners and Ship-operators, Shipbuilders and System Integrators, Fuel-cell and Battery Manufacturers, Energy Suppliers, Infrastructure Stakeholders, Financial Institutions to identify and evaluate the key drivers and barriers influencing adoption.
