| Description: | GREENMED IS A REGIONALLY-ORIENTED PROJECT AIMING TO EFFECTIVELY SUPPORT GREEN SHIPPING EFFORTS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA BASIN, BY PROMOTING PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO-BASED DECARBONISATION PATHWAYS. THE GREENMED'S AMBITION IS TO CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY AND ACTIVELY TO THE EMISSION TARGETS ESTABLISHED BY THE EU UNDER THE 2030 AND 2050 MILESTONES. HOWEVER, THE GOALS’ REALISATION RELIES ON THE COMPREHENSION AND INTEGRATION OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES, SPECIFICALLY SELECTED DEPENDING ON FUTURE POTENTIALS AND VARIOUS ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA. THUS, TO PERFORM THIS TASK, THE REGIONAL SHIP ENERGY DEMANDS, THE FUEL SUPPLY CHAINS IN BOTH SHORES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA, AND THE VARIETY OF EMERGING GREEN SHIPPING TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE CONSIDERED. THE ASSESSMENT OF THESE ASPECTS WILL LEAD TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DECARBONISATION HUB; THE MEDITERRANEAN SUSTAINABLE SHIPPING OBSERVATORY (MSSO), WHICH WILL SERVE THE PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STAKEHOLDERS’ NETWORK, AND THE BUILDING OF KNOWLEDGE CAPACITY. ΤHE GREENMED PROJECT WILL ELABORATE ON EXISTING STUDIES OF MARITIME ALTERNATIVE FUELS AND GREEN SHIPPING TECHNOLOGIES TO ATTAIN THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF MARITIME TRANSPORTATION CHAIN IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, A PROCESS WHICH WILL BE COMBINED WITH THE FULL MAPPING OF THE FUEL SUPPLY CHAIN. THE OUTCOMES OF GREENMED WILL MAP THE DECARBONISATION PATHWAYS AND OPTIONS. THESE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO STAKEHOLDERS AS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POLICY MAKING AND INFORMED INVESTMENT DECISION, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY FACILITATING A CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION, TOWARDS ACHIEVING THE TARGETS OF CLIMATE NEUTRALITY. |
