TECO 2030 launches its second EU Horizon project focused on maritime mobility

TECO 2030, along with 13 partners, has launched the €2.3m EU Horizon project, Zero Emission Adriatic Ship (ZEAS), which aims to develop a hydrogen fuel cell-powered system for maritime applications. The project will involve the design and construction of a ship tailored for operation in the Adriatic Sea, as well as the development of comprehensive hydrogen distribution, storage, and bunkering solutions. TECO 2030 will lead the project, with partners including Lurssen Design Centre Kvarner, the Maritime Centre of Excellence, and DNV Greece. The overall EU Horizon grant is worth €13.5m, with TECO 2030 and its partners receiving €2.3m.

According to Fredrik Aarskog, Director of Business Development at TECO 2030, the company’s success in securing EU project proposals is remarkable, thanks to the efforts of its dedicated partners and in-house team. Tore Enger, TECO 2030’s Group CEO, stated that the project will showcase how fuel cells and hydrogen can contribute to decarbonizing and eliminating harmful emissions in waterborne transport. The project will also focus on environmental impact, utilizing advanced digital technologies for monitoring, control, simulation, and predictive maintenance solutions.

The ZEAS project is a significant step in TECO 2030’s efforts to promote the use of fuel cells and hydrogen in maritime applications. The company and its partners will work on developing a hydrogen fuel cell-powered system for a ship tailored for the Adriatic Sea, with a focus on environmental impact and the use of advanced digital technologies. The project has received a €2.3m grant as part of the overall EU Horizon grant of €13.5m.
