​After three years of intensive research and collaboration, the AENEAS Project has officially concluded, marking an important milestone in advancing the electrification of maritime transport.

​

Throughout the project, the international consortium worked together to explore and develop innovative solutions aimed at enabling cleaner and more efficient shipping. The initiative focused on the integration of next-generation batteries, supercapacitors, and advanced digital twin technologies to support the intelligent implementation of energy storage systems on both sea-going and inland vessels.

​

The project demonstrated that combining novel energy storage technologies with intelligent energy management strategies can significantly improve overall energy efficiency in hybrid vessels. In addition, the results showed that hybrid ships are capable of achieving zero emissions while operating in port, while also enabling substantial emission reductions during critical manoeuvring phases.

​

These outcomes represent a meaningful contribution toward more sustainable maritime operations and highlight the potential of advanced electrification technologies to reduce the environmental impact of shipping.

​

The AENEAS consortium’s achievements underline the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing the challenges of maritime decarbonization. The partners involved in the project expressed their appreciation for the strong commitment, expertise, and teamwork demonstrated throughout the three-year journey.

​

With its successful completion, the AENEAS Project leaves behind valuable knowledge and technological advancements that can support the continued transition toward cleaner and more sustainable maritime transport.
