.@TRA_Conference 2022 runs in Lisbon: Today #CML researcher Jonathan Weisheit presented @AIRCOATProject at the Invited Session “On the Way to Zero-Emission Shipping” focusing on critical issues that currently limit the application in large scale and hinder a market-ready product.
Don't miss our presentation on Thursday 17 November at @TRA_Conference in Lisbon!

The ocean is the greatest ally in our efforts to address the climate crisis, generating 50% of the oxygen we need & absorbing 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.
Wednesday's #WorldOceansDay is a reminder of the urgency to #SaveOurOcean. unworldoceansday.org
While the AIRCOAT project might be over after 4 years of hard work, our website lives on!

⛴️ Maritime transport is the backbone of trade.
But #DYK it releases 9⃣4⃣0⃣ m tonnes of #CO2 each year? Making ships more #ecofriendly is key to achieving our goals.
🛩️ The @AIRCOATProject aims to reduce emissions by making the boats fly.

#EU-funded @AIRCOATProject presents a new, bio-inspired coating solution for reducing #maritime #shipping #emissions!
A new foil creates a passive air layer for #ship hulls making them more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.

Today, the AIRCOAT team met for its Final Consortium Meeting in Hamburg (Germany) to prepare the final public results and to celebrate the past 4-years of the H2020 project.
All our results will be published on our website very soon, stay tuned!

AIRCOAT project conducted a study to investigate #acoustic #noiseemissions #underwater .
Read our latest paper here📖aircoat.eu/resources/scienti…
Each year, the #velocity efficiency of the #ships is reduced by 10% because of #biofouling created on the hull. AIRCOAT foil is aiming to avoid the creation of biofouling in addition to its drag reduction effect.

Drag reduction is one of the main objectives of our project. Reducing #drag will in turn reduce the #fuelconsumption and thus #GHGemissions of #maritimetransport.
We are about to start! Join us now in our Final Event where we are about to present our results!
