The Zero-Emission Waterborne Transport Partnership-ZEWT aims for the EU to lead and accelerate the transformation of maritime and inland waterborne transport to eliminate all harmful environmental emissions (including greenhouse gas, air and water pollutants) through innovative technologies and operation.
The Partnership Board of the Co-Programmed Partnership on Zero-Emission Waterborne Transport (ZEWT) adopted its strategy which will enable Europe to demonstrate deployable zero emission maritime and inland ships by 2030.
On 7th of September 2021; the Partnership Board, governing the Co-Programmed Partnership on Zero-Emission Waterborne Transport in the framework of Horizon Europe, organised its first meeting. During this meeting, the Partnership Board, amongst others, adopted the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, detailing the roadmap to achieve the objectives set.
The Partnership aims at leading and accelerating the transformation of waterborne transport (i.e. maritime transport and inland navigation) to eliminate all harmful environmental emissions (including greenhouse gas, air and water pollutants) through innovative technologies and operation. By 2030, the objective is to develop and demonstrate deployable zero-emission solutions which are applicable for all main ship types and services, to enable the achievement of zeroemission waterborne transport by 2050.
The Partnership Board is the main forum for dialogue and steering by both the Waterborne Technology Platform and the European Commission Services, with the ultimate purpose of reaching the objectives of the European Partnership. The Delegates in name of the Waterborne Technology Platform represent the broader waterborne transport sector, ranging from shipyards, maritime technology manufacturers, classification societies, research institutes, associations to academia.
