Japan’s MODEC and Eld Energy, a Norwegian fuel cell system company, are pooling resources to bring a 1.2 MW carbon capture power system to life to roll out zero-emission floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units. MODEC and Eld Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a 1.2 MW power system integrated with carbon capture for application on FPSOs. The 1.2 MW unit is targeted for onshore testing in 2029, followed by long-term demonstration. While the Norwegian firm will lead the design, procurement, and construction of the power system based on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), including requisite testing and validation, the Japanese giant will develop the carbon capture facility and system integration for FPSOs. The MOU was signed in Tokyo during the official visit to Japan by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon of Norway in the presence of Norway’s Minister of Trade and Industry. Eld Energy and MODEC havecollaboratedsince 2025 on SOFC systems for offshore use, progressively scaling from 40 kW to120 kWSOFC plus carbon capture pilot. The new phase aims to demonstrate scalability and integrated carbon management for offshore power. This content is available after accepting the cookies. MODEC lays the groundwork for zero carbon FPSOs with partnership set on low-carbon offshore power solution MODEC highlighted:“SOFCs convert chemical energy directly to electricity at high temperature and can accept multiple fuels, and when combined with carbon capture system they offer a practical pathway to deep decarbonization of FPSO power without compromising uptime. “Going forward, MODEC will continue to contribute to a stable energy supply while advancing practical emissions reduction solutions on FPSOs.” Take the spotlight and anchor your brand in the heart of the offshore world!

Archives Historical Volcanic Eruptions Mitigated the Expected Rapid Arctic Sea Ice Decline Prior to 2000, Wang et al.,Geophysical Research Letters Arctic sea ice has declined at sharply contrasting rates over the past four decades—modest before 2000 and rapid thereafter. Using observational and model evidence, we show that large tropical volcanic eruptions can trigger decade-long Arctic sea ice recoveries, and that without the 1982 El Chichón and 1991 Pinatubo eruptions, Arctic sea ice would have declined approximately 1.5 times faster before 2000. We further show a model's sensitivity to volcanic aerosol forcing scales with its sensitivity to GHG forcing across CMIP6 models, offering a new strategy to identify models with realistic climate response to radiative forcing. Following this, a selected subgroup of models that accurately simulate long-term warming trend and decade-long post-Pinatubo recovery project ice-free Arctic summer up to 20 years earlier than the full ensemble. These findings underscore the critical, yet underappreciated, importance of evaluating climate models against anthropogenic and volcanic forcing when projecting the future of Arctic sea ice. Legacy wells supporting net zero by screening carbon storage and geothermal potential in the United States, Rajput et al.,Communications Earth & Environment Depleted oil and gas reservoirs provide an opportunity to repurpose underperforming wells and reuse existing subsurface infrastructure to support Net Zero transitions. Here we present a United States wide screening analysis of underperforming wells to estimate upper bound technical potential for carbon storage and geothermal heat. Using public well inventories, county level carbon removal cost datasets, national scale storage resource maps, and geothermal resource data, and accounting for well integrity attrition and field scale constraints, we estimate carbon storage potential of approximately 0.024–1.17 gigatonnes per year and geothermal heat potential of approximately 1–35 gigawatts thermal across high potential regions. Avoided drilling and deferred abandonment may indicate upper bound cost benefits, although repurposing costs remain site-specific. Key constraints include well integrity and cooling during injection; a retrofittable downhole choke is evaluated to mitigate this during startup. These results highlight conditional potential and the need for site-specific assessment. Northern permafrost represents a limit on the northward shift of climatically feasible agricultural frontiers under future warming, Xu et al.,Communications Earth & Environment Global warming is expected to shift crop suitability northward, but the role of permafrost remains unclear. Here we integrate permafrost degradation impacts to project the suitability of seven major crops across the Northern Hemisphere (30°N–83°N). By the end of the century, the northern boundary of crop climatic suitability zones shifts northward by ~331 km and ~739 km under the SSP1–2.6 and SSP5–8.5 scenarios, respectively. Considering this shift and permafrost degradation, zones with persistent near-surface permafrost remain limited (~5%) but vary widely (3–19%) across different permafrost degradation assumptions. By the end of the century, newly emerging frontiers of climatically feasible agriculture reach 4.86 and 11.64 million km² under SSP1–2.6 and SSP5–8.5, respectively, of which 29% and 18% may remain unsuitable for cultivation due to persistent permafrost thaw disturbances. Our results indicate that permafrost is a non-negligible constraint on the northward shift of climatically feasible agricultural frontiers. Caught in the Fray. How Climate Scientists Navigate the Public Sphere, Abramov et al.,Environmental Communication Climate scientists are increasingly drawn into a polarized public sphere, challenging relations between science and society. In this study, we interviewed thirty-five climate scientists – diverse in discipline and seniority – working in the Netherlands about their perceptions of, and experiences with public engagement. Based on our empirical material, we construct an analytical framework with a politization and participation axis on which we position their statements. Demarcating their public activities along these dimensions, climate scientists highlight concerns for scientific credibility, political efficacy, normative responsibility and individual capacity. While there is a clear opposition between those compelled to advocate for stringent climate policies or tackle misinformation and those who believe their main role is to provide solid knowledge and leave the normative choices to activists or politicians, only few scientists collaborate with stakeholders. Letting different stakeholders speak and participate in knowledge productions, we argue, may provide a solution to the science vs politics stranglehold. Widespread intensification of global river hydrograph flashiness under climate change, Zhu et al.,Communications Earth & Environmen Flooding poses an increasing threat to lives and infrastructure worldwide, yet how river flow responds under climate change remains uncertain. Here we assess future changes in river hydrograph flashiness, defined as the rate of increase in streamflow normalized by time and drainage area, using a numerical hydrological model driven by multiple climate model projections. We analyze 520 major river basins globally. Results show that flashiness is projected to increase by about 14%, 30%, and 79% by the late twenty-first century under low-, intermediate-, and high-emission scenarios, respectively, relative to 2014. Increases are greater in low-latitude basins than in high-latitude regions. These changes are mainly associated with larger differences between peak and base flow and shorter times to reach peak discharge. Overall, our findings suggest that river floods are likely to become faster and more intense in a warming climate, posing growing challenges for flood risk management and infrastructure design.

El Puerto de Vigo va dando pasos en su aspiración de integrarse en la Red Transeuropea de Transporte (TEN?T). Su presidente, Carlos Botana, mantuvo una reunión con Gesine Meissner, coordinadora para el Espacio Marítimo Europeo, y con su equipo de la Dirección General de Movilidad y Transportes de la Comisión Europea. Durante el encuentro, el responable de la Autoridad Portuaria de Vigo dio a conocer proyectos estratégicos en materia de descarbonización, sostenibilidad e intermodalidad, apoyándose en el informe técnico elaborado por la Universidad de Vigo que respalda la candidatura del enclave gallego para ser puerto nodal. La delegación europea mostró un interés especial por la estrategia ambiental del puerto, centrada en el suministro de energía eléctrica a buques atracados para reducir emisiones, así como por las infraestructuras destinadas al suministro de bio GNL. También valoró los avances en intermodalidad, especialmente la puesta en marcha de la autopista ferroportuaria del Atlántico, que conectará directamente el Puerto de Vigo con la Plisan de Salvaterra y el centro peninsular, reforzando la competitividad logística del noroeste español. Tras la reunión, la valoración de la delegación viguesa fue muy positiva. Botana destacó que los responsables europeos «han sido plenamente conscientes de la importancia estratégica de nuestro puerto en la generación de riqueza y su fuerte impacto en la economía». Como siguiente paso, la Autoridad Portuaria remitirá a la Comisión Europea un plan detallado de inversiones e infraestructuras prioritarias, con el objetivo de asegurar el respaldo institucional y acceder a vías de financiación comunitaria que permitan ejecutar los proyectos presentados.

The federal government recently released “Getting Major Projects Built in Canada,” a discussion paper proposing to fast-track major infrastructure developments. The paper comes less than two months afterA Force of Nature, the government’s new$3.8-billion strategycommitting to protect 30 per cent of Canada’s lands and waters by 2030. The dissonance between the two is striking. A Force of Nature aims to protect ecosystems and wildlife for the betterment of Canada. In contrast, the reforms proposed in “Getting Major Projects Built” could threaten natural environments, species-at-risk and human health for generations. One proposal in the discussion paper is the creation of “federal economic zones,” in whichenvironmental impact assessmentswould not be required. For others outside these zones, construction could begin before assessments are complete. But impact assessments are not red tape. Their entire purpose is to prevent irreversible harm. Circumventing the process, or allowing shovels in the ground before the risks are understood, is misguided and a gamble with our collective future. As leaders of theCanadian Society for Ecology and Evolution— a non-partisan society of nearly 1,000 ecologists and evolutionary biologists — we believe Canadians need to understand what is at stake. Canada’s Species at Risk Act (SARA)contains a legal requirement known as the jeopardy test. Before a major project can proceed, it must be demonstrated that the project will not push a listed species closer to extinction or prevent its recovery. Under the government’s new proposal, specific projects would be exempt from the jeopardy test. This would remove one of Canada’s very few legally binding safeguards for endangered species. Canada has more than 600 SARA-listed species. Some of the most iconic ones are directly in the path of projects now being fast-tracked. Take the northern resident orca, which ranges through B.C.’s northern waters. With under 500 individuals remaining, the species is listed asthreatened under SARA. Both the proposedKsi Lisims LNG projectand theLNG Canada expansion at Kitimatwould increase shipping traffic, noise pollution and the risk of an oil spill within the orca habitat. In Ontario, the Crawford Nickel Mine north of Timmins is slated to destroy 11,785 hectares of legally-designated habitat critical for threatenedwoodland caribou. Habitat loss and disturbance are the primary reasons woodland caribou are declining.A 2024 federal government reportfound that caribou habitats across Canada have declined since 2017. Montréal’s Contrecoeur port expansion projecton the St. Lawrence River provides a stark example of the type of environmental destruction the government’s proposed fast-tracking could normalize. The copper redhorse, a freshwater fish found only in Québec, is one of Canada’s rarest species and has a legally-designated critical habitat in the port expansion zone. The project will destroy part of the species’ habitat. The federal government authorized this destruction. As compensation, they proposed the creation of a seagrass bed. However, scientists from Québec’s Ministry of Environment have said that this is “not a proven method and that compensation for this type of habitat remains experimental.” The federal government’s discussion paper signals that fast-tracking major projects will require increased reliance on such fish habitat offsetting. But the science shows offsetting has apoor track recordin Canada. Monitoring for offset fish habitats is often inadequate. Even when offsetting works, there are oftensubstantial delaysbetween when a vulnerable species’ habitat is destroyed and when compensatory habitat becomes functional. The cumulative effect of many losses adds up to harms to fisheries that communities, Indigenous Peoples and wildlife all depend upon. Environmental assessments do more than protect wildlife. They are also how Canada’s rural, Northern and Indigenous communities learn about risks to their drinking water, air quality, and the ecosystems that underpin their food security and cultural practices. Past projects approved without adequate assessments have poisoned the air, waters and soils of our country.As of May 2026, 39 active long-term drinking water advisories on public systems on reserve in 37 Indigenous communities, and over24,000 contaminated siteson federally-owned land. Removing assessment requirements for projects, or short-circuiting their procedures, places local communities and their environments at risk. These impacts will disproportionately affect Indigenous Peoples, who already bear the brunt oftoxic soils and waters. We are in favour of building new infrastructure. The need to transition towards a clean energy future demands investment in new infrastructure. However, the way to do it is not to hollow out the scientific processes designed to safeguard communities and the environment. Impact assessments can be better co-ordinated. Agencies can be better funded. Indigenous communities can — and must — be engaged earlier. The path to faster, better decisions requires investment in science and in people, not compressing timelines to the point that assessments become meaningless. The Force of Nature strategy commits to “building Canada well” and ensuring that industrial development complements the conservation of Canada’s rich biological diversity and wild spaces. These are not only Canada’s natural heritage butsome of its greatest resources and future assets. The major projects discussion paper is not consistent with that commitment. Allowing construction before thorough assessments are completed, permitting development on endangered species’ critical habitats and substituting real habitat protection with offsets, will not build Canada well. It will build Canada at the expense of safeguarding communities and the environment. It will risk species extinctions, and it could cause irreparable harm to the health and well-being of many communities across Canada. The government should require impact assessments for all major infrastructure projects, commit to maintaining the jeopardy test under SARA for all such projects, reject any framework permitting construction before assessments are finalized, and abandon expanded reliance on fish habitat offsetting as a substitute for habitat protection. What Canada builds in the next decade will determine this country’s natural inheritance for generations. Let’s get it right.

Cook Inlet LNG, a subsidiary of Louisiana-basedindependent oil and gas companyGardes Holdings, has set the wheels in motion to secure regulatory clearances for an offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) import project, utilizing a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) and existing platform infrastructure to cover Alaska’s unmet gas demand and storage needs in the coming years. Cook Inlet LNG has initiated the process of obtaining regulatory approvals from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the U.S. Coast Guard, and other regulatory agencies for its near-term bridge solution for energy security in Southcentral Alaska, which entails a FSRU and existing platform infrastructure. Gardes Holdings will be working in partnership with Glacier Oil & Gas Corp., a long-time Cook Inlet producer, to develop this project to provide energy security for what is deemed to be the most populous region of the country, while longer-term solutions are advanced and realized. Rob Bryngelson, Cook Inlet LNG’s Project Lead, commented:“It’s no secret that Southcentral Alaska faces a critical energy gap in just a few short years that many players in our industry are working hard to overcome. “With our FSRU project, Cook Inlet LNG aims to meet an immediate gas supply need, not impede longer-term gas supply projects currently being discussed in the public sphere. Now that we have reached key internal milestones, we can join those critical energy supply discussions with our FSRU project.” The project is envisioned to maximize the use of existing oil and gas infrastructure in the Cook Inlet basin, with the initial project structured to supply 22 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas per year to the region. The FSRU will be moored alongside the existingOsprey platformon the west side of Cook Inlet. While gas will be fed into the pipeline system through the platform’s existing infrastructure, the mooring anchors that will be placed on the floor of Cook Inlet for mooring of the FSRU are the only new infrastructure that will be required for the Cook Inlet LNG project. Stephen Ratcliff, CEO of Glacier Oil & Gas Corp., emphasized:“With proven, existing infrastructure, facilities, and pipelines in the southernmost area of the Cook Inlet, we are excited to embark on the next phase of delivering energy solutions for Alaskans, by Alaskans. “Our ability to utilize our infrastructure allows a timely solution for meeting a gas supply demand in real time, while upholding our standard for health & safety of our employees and the environment we operate in.” Based on the current schedule, the first available gas from the FSRU project is expected in mid-2029. This development is privately funded, eliminating execution risk to local utilities and ratepayers. Once the project is in operation, gas supply costs to utilities and ratepayers will be approved by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA). Among thekey upcoming projectsin the country isAlaska LNG. This content is available after accepting the cookies. 30-year gas pact puts $44 billion LNG project at go/no‑go crossroads Robert Gardes, Gardes Holdings’ President, noted:“This project maximizes the re-use of oil and gas infrastructure that has operated safely in Cook Inlet for decades. FSRU’s have proven effective as a simple, safe solution to fill energy gaps across the world. We are proud that this project will do the same for Alaskans.” Cook Inlet LNG points out that the FSRU will be resupplied by LNG tankers approximately once every 30-45 days in winter, with longer durations between resupplies in summer. All vessels are expected to be suited for operations in Cook Inlet’s challenging conditions. Take the spotlight and anchor your brand in the heart of the offshore world!

Un buque de Grimaldi Trasmed./ EPC Sabina Feijóo Macedo El auge del comercio electrónicoy el posicionamiento de lasislas Balearescomo undestino turístico “refugio”han impulsado eltráfico de mercancías y pasajerosde la naviera española Trasmed, filial del grupo italiano Grimaldi desde 2021, que prevé superar este año el volumen de700.000 pasajerosy las340.000 unidadesde carga que alcanzó en 2025. Por ello, si las previsiones se cumplen,Trasmed podría salir de números rojos este 2026 por primera vez en su historia. “Si la tendencia continúa la senda del ejercicio anterior, alcanzaremos un resultado neto positivo este año y, en 2027, eliminaremos al 100% la deuda”, traslada el director de Relaciones Institucionales de Trasmed, Miguel Pardo, en conversaciones con este medio. Este miércoles, coincidiendo con la inauguración del SIL Barcelona, Trasmed compartió sus resultados anuales de 2025, en los que alcanzó unbeneficio operativo (EBITDA) positivo de 21,5 millones de euros, elevó sus ingresos hasta los165,4 millones, un 9,4% más que el año anterior, yredujo su deuda en un 66%.En 2024, la compañía cerró con pérdidas de 18,6 millones de euros y, en 2023, de 26,3 millones. “2025 ha sido un año de consolidación para Trasmed”, señaló el consejero delegado de la compañía,Ettore Morace, sin concretar el valor de las pérdidas registradas este ejercicio. Más allá de los motores puntuales (turismo y e-commerce), la compañía, queopera las rutas marítimas entre Barcelona, Valencia y Baleares, atribuye esta mejora a las sucesivas refinanciaciones impulsadas por el grupo italiano, a la reorganización operativa basada en la optimización de la flota, la reducción del consumo de combustible y al crecimiento del tráfico de mercancías y pasajeros. De estos, cerca del65% partieron desde Barcelona, uno de los principales nodos de actividad de la naviera. Miguel Pardo, Director Relaciones Institucionales de Trasmed junto a al presidente ejecutivo del Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona (CZFB) y del SIL, Pere Navarro; y la directora general del CZFB y del SIL, Blanca Sorigué/ EPC De cumplirse esta previsión, Trasmed cerraría un capitulo de pérdidasperennes desde su creación en 2021,cuando el grupo italiano Grimaldi se hizo con losactivos que la antigua Trasmediterránea tenía en Baleares. Esta empresa había sido comprada previamente por elGrupo Armas a Accionaentre 2018 y 2019, acumulando una elevada deuda que la pandemia no hizo más que agravar. Entonces, la operación se cerró por unos400 millones de euros, incluyendo la adquisición decinco buques,las concesiones en las terminales de Valencia y Barcelona y la subrogación de unos400 trabajadores. La división representaba cerca del40% de los ingresosde Armas-Trasmediterránea. Para poder afrontar la compra, la nueva filial Trasmed solicitó un préstamo propio de160 millones de euros, asegurado por la entidad Mediobanca, para financiar parte de la adquisición. Sin embargo, coincidiendo con la operación,la italiana GNV, perteneciente al grupo MSC,desembarcó también en el mercado balear. Donde hasta entonces operaban únicamente dos compañías —Baleària y Armas Trasmediterránea— se incorporó un tercer actor, lo que provocó una bajada de precios y lastró la recuperación de Trasmed. Con tal de remontar el negocio, durante estos cinco años, la navieraredujo su flota operativa de cinco a cuatro barcostras vender elCiudad de Mahón. Actualmente mantiene los buquesCiudad de Palma,Ciudad de Granada,Ciudad de SólleryCiudad de Barcelona. “Nos ha permitido hacer lo mismo con menos”, explica Pardo.Junto a la venta del buque,el directivo destaca la reducción del consumo energético, que ha permitido disminuir las emisiones en22.800 toneladas de CO₂en los dos últimos años: 16.600 toneladas en 2024 y 6.200 adicionales en 2025. Actualmente, alrededor del65% de los ingresosde Trasmed procede del transporte de mercancías, mientras queel 35% corresponde al pasaje.Aunque el turismo continúa siendo fundamental para Baleares, Pardo explica que la actividad logística mantiene un peso estructural debido a la dependencia del archipiélago del transporte marítimo para abastecerse de productos básicos, medicamentos o mercancías industriales. En 2025, la naviera movió339.394 unidades de carga, de las cuales más de105.000 pasaron por el Puerto de Barcelona, mientras que Valencia, por su conexión con el centro peninsular, concentra gran parte de la actividad logística. Dentro de esta actividad, el grupo señala a las empresas vinculadas ale-commercey la paquetería como principales motores de crecimiento,con clientes como Amazon o Seur. “Es un sector muy exigente, pero que crece muchísimo y al que hay que atender”, apunta Pardo. En cuanto a las previsiones futuras, Trasmed explica quedependerán del comportamiento turístico de Balearesy de la evolución de los conflictos geopolíticos. De hecho, la compañía anunció a mediados de marzo unasubida de los fletes (tarifas) del 15%debido al impacto de las guerras en Oriente Medio. Miguel Pardo, director de RRII de Trasmed, en la presentación de resultados 2025 en el SIL/ EPC Sin embargo, la naviera también detecta que el denominado “efecto refugio” podría beneficiar al archipiélago, atrayendo turistas que antes optaban por destinos del Mediterráneo oriental. “Mientras otros destinos turísticos cercanos a la zona de Israel han perdido atractivo por motivos de seguridad, Baleares ha captado parte de ese flujo de viajeros al ser percibida como una opción mucho más estable”, señala Pardo. La compañía considera que esta tendenciapodría compensar parcialmente el impacto económico derivado del contexto internacional. En un horizonte más amplio, Trasmed espera beneficiarse de la apuesta inversora del Grupo Grimaldi para modernizar su flota.

Trasmed, la filial de Grimaldi surgida tras la adquisición de la flota de Trasmediterránea, cerró el ejercicio 2025 con una cifra de negocios de 165,4 millones de euros, un 9,4% más que el año anterior. La compañía ha anunciado que ha logrado por primera vez dar ebitda positivo, de 21, 5 millones de euors, aunque su resultado final sigue siendo negativo. Aun así, la evolución positiva le ha hecho augurar que en este año 2026 ya está en condiciones de dar beneficios. En 2025, Trasmed transportó a más de 700.000 pasajeros mediante su oferta de conectividad estable y una propuesta capaz de adaptarse a distintos perfiles de viajero. En el ámbito de carga, la naviera movió 339.394 unidades de mercancía, lo que supone un aumento del 2,25% respecto a 2024, en un contexto marcado por la reconfiguración de la operativa , con la salida de un buque del servicio. La compañía, que tiene su sede en Valencia, nació en 2021 cuando Grimaldi adquirio la flota de Trasmediterrá que realiza las rutas entre los puertos de Valencia y Barcelona con Palma de Mallorca. En estos años, la matriz ha inyectado 137 millones de euros mediante ampliaciones de capital, más los 160 millones aportados en el momento de la adquisición. Con estas operaciones , el endeudamiento total de Trasmed queda situado en 71 millones de euros. Su previsión es dejar la deuda a cero para el año 2027. "2025 ha sido un año de consolidación para Trasmed", afirma Ettore Morace, CEO de Trasmed. "Los resultados reflejan la evolución de la compañía desde 2021 y la eficacia de las decisiones tomadas en estos años, con una mejora generalizada de todos los indicadores económicos y de actividad. En un contexto especialmente exigente para el sector, en el que aún existe desajuste entre oferta y demanda, estos datos avalan la solidez del servicio y la capacidad de la compañía para seguir creciendo y reforzando su papel en la conectividad entre la Península y Baleares". Flota Trasmed cuanta con cinco buques, aunque uno apenas trabaja unos meses al año debido a so obscolescencia. Desde Trasmed explican que en general se trata de barcos con varias décadas de antigüedad y que se espera poder remplazarlos cuanto antes, aunque no hay una fecha para ello. Grimaldi tiene actualmente un programa de inversión superior a los 1.300 millones de euros destinado a la construcción de nueve nuevos ferries ro-pax de última generación que se incorporarán progresivamente entre 2028 y 2030. Sin embargo, ninguno de estos nuevos barcos está inicialmente destinado a la operativa de Trasmed. Sí que podría suceder que la naviera española acabara recibiendo alguno de los buques a los que estos nuevos sustituyan, que están en mejores condiciones que los que en este momento utiliza Trasmed. Otras inversiones de Grimaldi En España, la estrategia de inversión de Grimaldi se traduce también en inversiones en infraestructuras portuarias. En Barcelona, el grupo ha avanzado en la unificación de sus terminales y en el desarrollo de nuevas instalaciones logísticas, incluyendo un silo de vehículos coronado por una planta fotovoltaica. Asimismo, la electrificación de muelles mediante sistemas OPS permite ya que buques como el Ciudad de Palma de Trasmed eliminen emisiones durante su estancia en puerto, evitando más de 2.000 toneladas de CO2 al año. A ello se suma el refuerzo de la infraestructura logística del grupo en Valencia, donde se está adecuando la terminal, con una apuesta cercana al millón de euros.

Escucha la noticia Trasmedcerró 2025 con unamejora de sus principales indicadores económicos y financieros, consolidando la trayectoria de crecimiento iniciada tras su integración en elGrupo Grimaldi. Lanavieraespañola alcanzó unos ingresos de 165,4 millones de euros, lo que representa un incremento del 9,4% respecto al ejercicio anterior, al tiempo que logró unEbitdapositivo de 21,5 millones de euros. Según la compañía, la evolución registrada durante el añopermite reforzar las perspectivas de alcanzar un resultado neto positivo en 2026. La compañía atribuye estos avances al incremento sostenido de su actividad desde 2021 y al fortalecimiento de una propuesta centrada en la calidad y la fiabilidad del servicio. Además del crecimiento de los ingresos, Trasmed mejoró su resultado en más de un 70% yavanzó en el saneamiento de su estructura financieramediante una reducción de la deuda del 66% respecto a 2024. La hoja de ruta de la naviera contempla alcanzar una situación de deuda cero en el ejercicio 2027. El consejero delegado de Trasmed, Ettore Morace, definió 2025 como un año de consolidación para la compañía. Según destacó,los resultados reflejan la evolución experimentada desde 2021y el impacto de las decisiones adoptadas durante este periodo. El directivo subrayó que la mejora de los indicadores económicos y operativos se ha producido en un contexto complejo para el transporte marítimo, marcado todavía por desequilibrios entre la oferta y la demanda en determinados segmentos del mercado. La evolución económica estuvo acompañada por un aumento de la actividad comercial de Trasmed durante el pasado ejercicio Durante 2025,Trasmed transportó a más de 700.000 pasajeros en las conexiones entre la Península y Baleares. En el segmento de mercancías, la naviera movió 339.394 unidades de carga, un 2,25% más que el año anterior. Este crecimiento se produjo pese a la reconfiguración de la operativa derivada de la salida de un buque del servicio, una medida que permitió reducir el número de viajes realizados y optimizar la eficiencia operativa. La compañía considera que estos resultadosrefuerzan su posición como operador logístico relevante para el tejido económico baleary para la cadena de suministro de sectores estratégicos del archipiélago. Desde la adquisición de la división por parte del Grupo Grimaldi hace menos de cinco años, Trasmed ha consolidado su presencia en el mercado de transporte marítimo entre la Península y Baleares, tanto en el negocio de pasajeros como en el transporte de mercancías, según destaca la propia empresa. La sostenibilidad continúa siendo otro de los ejes estratégicos de la naviera. Trasmed redujo en 6.200 toneladas adicionales sus emisiones de CO₂ durante 2025, que se suman a las 16.600 toneladas recortadas el año anterior. De este modo, la reducción acumulada en los dos últimos ejercicios alcanza las 22.800 toneladas. La compañía vincula estos avances a la optimización de la operativa y a una utilización más eficiente de los recursos disponibles en su red de servicios marítimos. Entre los hitos más destacados de 2025 figura también la puesta en marcha de la conexión eléctrica OPS en el puerto de Barcelona Como resultado de los esfuerzos de la naviera en materia de conexión eléctrica OPS en Barcelona, desde marzo de 2025,el buque Ciudad de Palma ha consumido más de 722 MWh de energía renovabledurante sus escalas, eliminando emisiones mientras permanece atracado y reduciendo además el impacto acústico en el entorno urbano. Estos avances respaldan la participación de Trasmed en el programa Lean & Green, con el objetivo de obtener su primera estrella en 2027. Por su parte, el Grupo Grimaldi mantiene unaestrategia de inversión centrada en la descarbonización y el refuerzo de su red logística internacional. El holding italiano desarrolla un programa superior a 1.300 millones de euros para incorporar nueve nuevos ferries ro-pax entre 2028 y 2030. Paralelamente, continúa impulsando inversiones en puertos como Barcelona y Valencia, considerados nodos estratégicos dentro de los corredores logísticos que conectan el Mediterráneo con el norte de Europa y el mar Báltico.

Italy’s engineering, drilling, and construction services giant Saipem has reported a new achievement in the execution phase of a gas project off the coast of Libya, which is operated by Mellitah Oil & Gas Libyan Branch, a consortium formed by National Oil Corporation of Libya and Eni North Africa. Saipem has completed the lifting operations of the gas recovery module for theBouri Gas Utilization Project (BGUP)offshore Libya, using its flagshipSaipem 7000, said to be one of the world’s largest crane vessels. The firm secured a $1 billionengineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC) contractin August 2023 for the refurbishment of platforms and facilities at theBouri gas field. The gas recovery module, fabricated byRosetti Marinoat its Marina di Ravenna yard on behalf of Saipem, is perceived to represent a key component of the plant. Weighing more than 5,200 tonnes and measuring approximately 45 meters by 31 meters, with a height of around 45 meters, the module left the yard in early May 2026 to be transported to the Bouri field, located approximately 170 kilometers off the Libyan coast. This module, which was built in about two years, integrates advanced gas treatment systems and has been installed on the existing offshore platform at the field, contributing to the development of the new infrastructures foreseen by the project. Following completion of the lifting operations, offshore activities covered by the company’s scope of work will continue, with execution entrusted to Rosetti Marino. These activities include the integration of the module on the existingDP4 platform, as well as hook-up and commissioning of the plant and its related communication, safety and control systems. The pre-commissioning activities are also planned for approximately 28 kilometers of already laid subsea pipelines, which connect theDP3, DP4, andSabrathaplatforms to enable the transportation of the recovered gas to the Mellitah treatment complex. The Italian giant emphasized:“The lifting of the module marks a major milestone in the execution phase of the project, confirming Saipem’s ability to manage complex operations through advanced engineering planning and the use of heavy-lifting solutions, in full compliance with the highest standards of safety and reliability.” The Bouri project aims to recover associated gas currently subject to flaring, the controlled combustion of excess gas that produces the typical flame visible in refineries or wells, and transport it to the Mellitah complex for use or export. Reducing flaring is anticipated to avoid the combustion of gas into the atmosphere, significantly contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions and supporting an increase in production up to approximately 2 million cubic meters per day, which serves to improve the efficiency of existing infrastructure. Saipem is busy with many projects across the globe, as illustrated by its recentpartnershipwith Petrobras to explore ways to advance solutions for decommissioning activities across Brazil’s oil and gas fields, subsea systems, and associated infrastructure.

Con un peso superiore alle 5.200 tonnellate, dimensioni in pianta di 45 metri per 31 metri e un’altezza di circa 45 metri, il modulo è stato costruito in circa due anni da Rosetti Marino Saipem ha annunciato di aver completato con successo le operazioni di sollevamento del modulo gas recovery destinato al Bouri Gas Utilization Project (Bgup), nell’offshore della Libia, utilizzando la propria ammiraglia Saipem 7000, una delle navi gru più grandi al mondo per quetso tipo di lavori. Una nota spiega che il modulo, realizzato per conto di Saipem da Rosetti Marino nel cantiere di Marina di Ravenna, rappresenta un componente chiave dell’impianto. A inizio maggio il modulo aveva lasciato lo scalo romagnolo per essere trasportato su una barge fino al campo di Bouri, situato a circa 170 chilometri dalla costa libica. Con un peso superiore alle 5.200 tonnellate, dimensioni in pianta di 45 metri per 31 metri e un’altezza di circa 45 metri, il modulo, costruito in circa due anni, integra sistemi avanzati per il trattamento del gas ed è stato installato sulla piattaforma offshore esistente del campo di Bouri, contribuendo alla realizzazione delle nuove infrastrutture previste dal progetto. “Il sollevamento del modulo – fa sapere Saipem – rappresenta un importante traguardo nella fase esecutiva del progetto, a conferma della capacità di Saipem di gestire operazioni complesse con una pianificazione ingegneristica avanzata e l’utilizzo di soluzioni di sollevamento pesante, nel rispetto dei più elevati standard di sicurezza e affidabilità.” Sempre l’Epci contarctor italiano spiega che, “a seguito del completamento delle operazioni di sollevamento, proseguiranno le attività offshore previste dallo scope of work di Saipem, la cui esecuzione è affidata a Rosetti Marino, che includono l’integrazione del modulo sulla piattaforma esistente DP4, nonché le operazioni di hook-up e commissioning dell’impianto dei relativi sistemi di comunicazione, sicurezza e controllo. È, inoltre, previsto il pre-commissioning di circa 28 chilometri di condotte sottomarine, già posate, che collegano le piattaforme DP3, DP4 e Sabratha e consentiranno il trasporto del gas recuperato verso il complesso di trattamento di Mellitah”. Il Bouri Gas Utilization Project, sviluppato da Mellitah Oil & Gas (una joint venture tra Eni e Noc) mira a recuperare il gas associato oggi soggetto a flaring, ovvero la combustione controllata di gas in eccesso che produce la classica fiamma visibile nelle raffinerie o nei pozzi, e a convogliarlo verso il complesso di Mellitah per l’utilizzo o l’esportazione. Ridurre il flaring consentirà di evitare la combustione del gas in atmosfera contribuendo in modo significativo alla riduzione delle emissioni di CO2 (1.5 Mton eq/anno riduzione). Inoltre, l’iniziativa favorirà un incremento della produzione di gas netto fino a circa 2 milioni di metri cubi al giorno, migliorando l’efficienza delle infrastrutture esistenti.

Ecoener, la empresa gallega de renovables, cerró 2025 con un importante hito tras conseguir el mayor incremento de capacidad de su historia con 253 megavatios (MW) nuevos, lo que supone un 60% más, hasta 680 MW en operación. Con los proyectos en construcción, la capacidad de Ecoener ascenderá a 815 MW, lo que significa multiplicar por seis el volumen de la salida a Bolsa, de la que se cumplen cinco años. Este impulso se explica por su importante despliegue internacional donde ha replicado su política medioambiental. La empresa cuenta con más de 60 activos eólicos, fotovoltaicos e hidroeléctricos en operación y construcción en seis mercados de España y Centroamérica y un pipeline de proyectos en desarrollo de alto valor, concentrado mayoritariamente en países de la OCDE, como Canadá, y en la Unión Europea. Reducción de emisiones Cabe destacar que el crecimiento de los últimos años ha ido vinculado a una reducción de emisiones. Ecoener ha reducido cerca del 80% su huella de carbono en el último ejercicio, situándola en 21.760 toneladas de dióxido de carbono equivalente (tCOe), en el Alcance 3, un resultado verificado por la entidad independiente TÜV SÜD. Acaba de aprobar un nuevo Plan de Descarbonización que abarca sus operaciones y su cadena de valor. La hoja de ruta establece objetivos de reducción de emisiones anuales del 5,62% en los Alcances 1 y 2, (61,79% a 2035) y del 6,03% en Alcance 3 (66,33% a 2035), medidos en intensidad de emisiones (tCOe/MWh). Réplica de su modelo Desde sus orígenes, hace más de 37 años, Ecoener ha intentado integrar las instalaciones de manera respetuosa con el entorno natural. Como modelo de éxito, destacan las centrales hidroeléctricas de Galicia, los primeros activos de la empresa y un ejemplo de integración paisajística. Esta visión se ha ido trasladando al resto de proyectos de la empresa en el mundo, donde ha ido adaptando a las características de cada uno de los proyectos aplicando soluciones enfocadas al contexto local.

Revegetación en Colombia A través de un proyecto desarrollado junto a la Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña (Colombia), la compañía ha impulsado un modelo de restauración ecológica para proteger el suelo y mejorar su calidad en el entorno de la planta fotovoltaica colombiana de Sunnorte. La iniciativa apuesta por la revegetación de las zonas más sensibles utilizando una cobertura vegetal natural que ayuda a reducir la erosión del terreno, proteger los taludes frente a lluvia y viento y mejorar progresivamente la fertilidad del suelo. Imagen del Plan de biodiversidad de Ocaña (Colombia). Además, ha aplicado técnicas como el uso de abonos orgánicos, materiales biodegradables y sistemas de riego adaptados, creando las condiciones necesarias para que la vegetación se establezca de forma sostenible. Otro proyecto es el plan de compensación forestal en las plantas fotovoltaicas Ardobela 1 y 2, ubicadas en el municipio de Santander de Quilichao (Colombia). El proyecto presta especial atención a un jagüey ya existente, un pequeño cuerpo de agua que actúa como reserva hídrica y refugio de biodiversidad. Para su protección, se ha establecido un área de 100 metros alrededor en la que no se han instalado paneles ni infraestructuras. En esa zona y su entorno se han plantado 233 árboles de especies nativas, como chicalá, chiminango, guamo, gualanday, lechero rojo y samán. Todas ellas han sido seleccionadas por su adaptación al terreno y su contribución a la recuperación del bosque seco tropical, característico de la región. 300 hectáreas de bosque seco Además, Ecoener continúa avanzando en el Plan de Compensación por Pérdida de Biodiversidad en Ocaña (Colombia), con el objetivo de restaurar 300 hectáreas de bosque seco tropical. Durante 2025, trabajó en 76 hectáreas con labores de mantenimiento y restauración que han permitido consolidar la vegetación. Hasta la fecha, se han plantado más de 65.000 árboles nativos. En Canarias, Ecoener impulsa la instalación de pantallas vegetales con especies autóctonas en sus activos renovables, una solución que ha demostrado su eficacia tanto en la reducción del impacto visual como en la mejora del entorno natural. La compañía cuenta con iniciativas orientadas a optimizar el ciclo de vida de los paneles solares impulsando la economía circular y, al mismo tiempo, el desarrollo comunitario. De Canarias a Guatemala Esto se ha replicado en Guatemala, donde la compañía ha entregado 11 paneles solares reutilizados a familias del entorno de la planta fotovoltaica de Yolanda, en Puerto San José, mejorando la iluminación de sus viviendas y facilitando el acceso a energía para usos domésticos y agrícolas. Mientras, en Colombia, el proyecto ha beneficiado a 23 familias de agricultores con sistemas solares que garantizan el acceso al agua para riego y refuerzan su resiliencia frente al cambio climático. Además, ha suministrado 25 paneles solares a un acueducto comunitario, contribuyendo a reducir sus costes energéticos y mejorar la sostenibilidad del servicio. Reutilización de materiales Ecoener impulsa otro proyecto de segunda vida en madera, una iniciativa que mejora las condiciones de los comedores escolares mediante la reutilización de materiales procedentes de la construcción de sus plantas fotovoltaicas. La empresa transforma bobinas de cable en desuso en mesas y sillas adaptadas para el entorno educativo, dando respuesta a las carencias de las infraestructuras locales.

Explora Journeys, compagnia crocieristica di lusso del Gruppo Msc, ha annunciato che la nuovissima nave Explora III appena costruita da Fincantieri a Genova Sestri Ponente, ha completato le prove in mare nel Mar Ligure. I test effettuati hanno convalidato le prestazioni tecniche e operative della nave in vista del suo debutto previsto per quest’estate. La nuova costruzione ha lasciato lo stabilimento dopo aver effettuato un rifornimento di Gnl (gas naturale liquefatto) tramite la bettolina Avenir Aspiration appositamente noleggiata da Eni (l’annuncio del charter era stato diffuso a otobre del 2024) che ha così debuttato nel bunkeraggio di gas nel settore marittimo. Come sottolineato da Javier Garcia Fernandez, analista di Kpler, il rifornimento avvenuto in cantiere a Sestri Ponente rappresentante il debutto di un nuovo entrante nel mercato del Gnl nel Mediterraneo dopo l’esordio (avvenuto nel mese di dicembre scorso) e i successivi approvvigionamenti completati da Axpo ai traghetti di Gnv e più recentemente alla nave da crociera Sun Princess nel porto di Napoli. “Lo scenario del Mediterraneo sta evolvendo velocemente con oltre 8 Lng bunkering vessel attive, 5 importanti fornitori (Shell, TotalEnergies, Axpo, Peninsula e ora Eni) e un picco di circa 808.500 metri cubi di Gnl forniti lo scorso mese di ottobre, un livello che è andato poi stabilizzandosi nei mesi seguenti” ha sottolineato il market data analyst di Kpler. “Il completamento delle prove in mare di Explora III rappresenta un altro importante traguardo per Explora Journeys, che continua a concretizzare la nostra visione a lungo termine per la flotta” ha dichiarato Anna Nash, presidente di Explora Journeys. “Essendo la prima nave alimentata a Gnl della nostra flotta, rappresenta anche un passo importante nella nostra transizione verso tecnologie a basse emissioni, supportando il nostro percorso verso emissioni net zero di gas serra per le nostre operazioni marittime entro il 2050”. Nash ha aggiunto: “Quest’estate, Explora Journeys avrà tre navi in ​​navigazione, un traguardo significativo che riflette la solidità della nostra visione e lo straordinario slancio del marchio”. In una la società ha affermato che, con tutte e sei le navi attualmente in diverse fasi di sviluppo, che comprendono le fasi operative, di costruzione e di consegna, Explora Journeys ha raggiunto la metà del suo piano di espansione della flotta a sei navi, continuando a perseguire la sua visione a lungo termine. Dopo le prove in mare, la nave è tornata al cantiere Fincantieri di Sestri Pontente per il completamento degli interni e le rifiniture finali. In anticipo rispetto ai tempi previsti, la Explora III inizierà la sua stagione inaugurale con il viaggio pre-battesimo nel Mediterraneo, con partenza il 24 luglio 2026 e arrivo a Barcellona per la cerimonia ufficiale di battesimo l’1 agosto 2026. Due giorni dopo salperà per il suo viaggio inaugurale di sette notti fino a Lisbona. Nel corso della restante parte della sua stagione inaugurale, la nave farà scalo in Norvegia, Islanda e Groenlandia, prima di attraversare l’Atlantico per raggiungere il New England e il Canada.

Source from Valuates Reports:https://reports.valuates.com/market-reports/QYRE-Auto-10N7444/global-alternative-fuel-vehicle-and-new-energy-vehicle TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLE AND NEW ENERGY VEHICLE MARKET: Electric vehicles are driving the Alternative Fuel Vehicle and New Energy Vehicle Market by giving fleet operators a cleaner and more predictable operating model for urban routes, commercial deliveries, industrial campuses, and controlled-duty transport. Their appeal is strongest where vehicles return to fixed depots, allowing charging schedules to be planned around daily operations. Electric platforms also support quieter operation, reduced tailpipe emissions, and easier compliance with city-level low-emission rules. As charging networks expand and fleet managers gain confidence in vehicle uptime, electric models are becoming a preferred option for short-haul transport, municipal fleets, service vehicles, and controlled logistics corridors. Natural gas vehicles support market growth by serving applications where buyers need lower-emission alternatives but still depend on familiar refueling behavior, longer duty cycles, and heavier payload operations. Natural gas remains relevant for commercial fleets, industrial transport, buses, refuse vehicles, and regional logistics where depot-based fueling can be organized efficiently. It also helps operators reduce exposure to conventional fuel volatility while maintaining operational continuity during transition phases. In markets where gas supply infrastructure is already established, natural gas vehicles act as a practical bridge for organizations that are not yet ready to shift fully toward electric platforms. Commercial applications are a major growth driver because fleet owners evaluate vehicles through operating cost, uptime, route reliability, fuel access, and compliance benefits rather than only purchase price. Delivery fleets, ride services, public transport operators, utility service providers, and logistics companies are adopting alternative fuel vehicles to meet customer sustainability expectations and regulatory fleet standards. Commercial use also creates repeat demand for charging, maintenance, leasing, financing, fleet software, and depot infrastructure. As vehicle utilization rises, the economic case becomes stronger, making commercial fleets a central demand base for both electric and natural gas vehicle adoption. Fleet operators are shifting toward alternative fuel and new energy vehicles because fuel expenditure, maintenance planning, and lifecycle cost control are becoming central procurement priorities. Electric vehicles reduce dependence on conventional fuel procurement, while natural gas vehicles provide an alternative for duty cycles requiring longer operating continuity. The market benefits when buyers can link vehicle adoption with predictable energy sourcing, lower service complexity, and better cost visibility across the fleet lifecycle. This factor is especially important in commercial and industrial segments, where small efficiency improvements across high-usage vehicles can influence operating margins. Transport decarbonization policies are pushing public and private fleets toward cleaner vehicle categories, creating demand for electric and natural gas models across regulated mobility segments. Urban clean-air programs, fleet emission targets, public procurement rules, and corporate sustainability commitments are strengthening replacement demand. Buyers are also preparing for stricter future compliance by selecting vehicle platforms that can operate in low-emission zones and environmentally sensitive locations. This policy-led pressure supports sustained demand across commercial distribution, municipal transport, industrial logistics, and defense support fleets, where long-term vehicle planning must align with regulatory direction. Alternative fuel vehicles gain traction where routes are predictable, vehicles return to centralized depots, and energy infrastructure can be installed or managed at fixed locations. This makes electric and natural gas vehicles especially suitable for last-mile delivery, staff transport, warehouse movement, port operations, airport logistics, public buses, and utility fleets. Route predictability reduces range uncertainty and supports planned refueling or charging cycles. As fleet managers map duty cycles more carefully, vehicle selection becomes more data-driven, allowing alternative fuel platforms to be deployed first in operations where performance risk is lower and cost recovery is clearer.

Los puertos de todo el mundo se enfrentan a un mandato urgente e ineludible: descarbonizarse. La exigencia pasa por apagar los enormes motores diésel de los buques comerciales y de cruceros una vez que atracan, conectándolos a la red eléctrica local. Sin embargo, en la práctica, las ciudades portuarias se han topado con un muro de hormigón: no hay suficiente capacidad en la red terrestre para enchufar a estos gigantes del mar. Ante este cuello de botella, la respuesta de la ingeniería ha sido sacar el problema de la tierra firme. Un consorcio respaldado por el Reino Unido y liderado por la firma ELIRE Maritime ha validado con éxito lo que definen como "el primer centro de energía de hidrógeno flotante e independiente de la red del mundo". ¿El fin de las interminables obras portuarias? Para entender el impacto de este desarrollo, hay que mirar el calvario logístico actual. Tal y como subraya Enlit, instalar sistemas tradicionales de suministro eléctrico en tierra (conocidos en la industria como shore power) es una auténtica pesadilla. El proceso puede tardar entre tres y siete años, ya que requiere refuerzos masivos de la red, mejoras en las subestaciones, complejas obras civiles y unos plazos de concesión de permisos que paralizan cualquier avance. Todo ello consumiendo un espacio terrestre del que la mayoría de los puertos carecen. Al colocar la infraestructura energética directamente en el agua, se sortea de un plumazo este obstáculo. Además, desde ELIRE Maritime destacan una ventaja financiera crucial: el sistema evita el riesgo de crear "activos varados". A diferencia de una subestación de hormigón que no puede moverse si cambian las rutas marítimas, esta megacentral flotante puede reubicarse según dicte la demanda del mercado, otorgando a las autoridades portuarias una independencia total de la red. Radiografía tecnológica. Lejos de ser un mero concepto sobre el papel, la tecnología acaba de superar un riguroso programa de validación de seis meses. El diseño físico, del que se hacen eco todos los medios, consta de tres plataformas flotantes hexagonales interconectadas que ocupan unos 1.200 metros cuadrados. Pero, ¿cómo suministra energía sin colapsar? El sistema no utiliza generadores descomunales para inyectar energía de golpe al barco, sino que funciona bajo la premisa de una "batería flotante gigante". A través de pilas de combustible modulares de 1,3 MW que operan continuamente (apoyadas por hasta 146 kW de paneles solares a bordo), el sistema carga poco a poco un enorme banco de baterías de 45 MWh durante toda la semana. Cuando un barco atraca, esta batería libera la energía rápidamente, entregando 5 MW de potencia limpia y continua sin inmutarse. Para alimentar este proceso, el sistema consume entre 7.500 y 8.000 kilos de hidrógeno a la semana. Cuenta con siete tanques a bordo integrados en contenedores de baja presión, que requieren repostaje un par de veces por semana. Esto permite a los puertos adoptar el hidrógeno gradualmente sin tener que acometer faraónicas obras para construir tuberías o instalaciones de almacenamiento permanentes en tierra. ⌛️ SORTEO ACTIVO EN XATAKA XTRA Esta Nintendo Switch 2 podría ser tuya Suscríbete por solo 2€/mes hasta el 19 de junio y entra en el sorteo El impacto real. Para garantizar su viabilidad en el mundo real, la plataforma ha sido sometida a pruebas de estabilidad y oleaje en los tanques de la Universidad de Strathclyde, mientras que gigantes de la industria como Schneider Electric y Ricardo UK han validado con éxito toda su compleja arquitectura eléctrica. Las luces medioambientales: Según los análisis de viabilidad de la consultora Ricardo, el sistema puede reducir las emisiones de los buques atracados en un 77% frente a la generación tradicional con diésel. En cifras tangibles, esto supone un ahorro de unas 47 toneladas de CO₂ por barco cada semana (casi 2.450 toneladas anuales), además de erradicar por completo las emisiones de partículas tóxicas, óxidos de nitrógeno (NOx) y azufre (SOx) que envenenan el aire de las ciudades costeras. La sombra del coste: Hoy por hoy, esta solución es más cara que enchufarse a la red convencional. El coste estimado de la energía de este centro de hidrógeno ronda entre las 0,25 y 0,50 libras por kWh, frente a las 0,15 - 0,25 libras del sistema terrestre tradicional. No obstante, el consorcio argumenta que este sobrecoste inicial se compensa por la asombrosa rapidez de despliegue y prevén que la estandarización y la futura caída del precio del hidrógeno igualen la balanza comercial. El potencial es inmenso. El consorcio estima un mercado global de 62 TWh anuales para soluciones marítimas independientes de la red, con el potencial de evitar la emisión de 500.000 toneladas de CO₂ en la próxima década. Próximas paradas. Como detalla ELIRE Maritime, el consorcio ya está en conversaciones comerciales para iniciar los primeros despliegues reales en puertos de primer nivel como Londres, Singapur, Hamburgo, Brisbane y Riga. El futuro de la descarbonización marítima parece haber encontrado un atajo. No se trata de inventar tecnologías exóticas desde cero, sino de integrar lo que ya sabemos que funciona (hidrógeno, baterías y sistemas eléctricos de potencia) de una manera mucho más inteligente. Si la tierra firme no tiene suficiente electricidad para alimentar a los gigantes de los océanos, la solución, irónicamente, siempre estuvo en volver a echarse al mar.
