Developing pathways for a sustainable shipping and maritime fuel value chain in Ireland (ShipFuel-IE)

Project Description

The project aims to develop a comprehensive framework to address all aspects of the transition to low-carbon shipping in Ireland while engaging with stakeholders from across the Irish maritime sector. Research will assess the socio-techno-economic and environmental impact of fuel production routes, refuelling infrastructure required at Irish ports and vessel technology including the option of retrofitting existing vessels. A multi-criteria decision analysis will be employed to highlight promising pathways for the development of a low-carbon shipping sector in Ireland.
