A strong programme and great speakers
The MTE conference will start on September 26 at 9:00 am with an outlook on energy transition in the maritime sector.
What are the fuels of the future, which technologies will take off? We will hear among others about hydrogen, biofuel or LNG.
Specific case studies will be dedicated to “the road to decarbonisation”. They will take into account the role of port authorities, with the interesting example of the Port of Amsterdam.
Wind propulsion will be discussed, while an original panel discussion reassembling some of the wolds’ leading personalities in the field will discuss how yacht racing can contribute to the decarbonisation of the shipping industry.
