Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI is working on a study on the analysis of market potentials and market barriers for wind propulsion technologies for ships for the EU Directorate-General Climate Action. Fraunhofer ISI is undertaking innovation modelling for the potential uptake of wind propulsion technologies in shipping. Fraunhofer ISI is also coordinator of the Fraunhofer Transport association Waterborne group.
The Business Area of Transportation has undertaken a range of research projects in the field of shipping and climate issues as “Avoidance of disadvantageous impacts in the design of a regional market based instrument for CO2 emissions reduction in shipping” on behalf of the German Ministry of Transport BMVBS (2011-2013), and GLOBIS on behalf of DG Clima (2009-2013). It is currently participating in the project: Study on the analysis of market potentials and market barriers for wind propulsion technologies for ships for the EU Directorate-General Climate Action.
