About the Conference With higher fuel costs and raising environmental concerns globally, there has been an increased incentive to move to-wards

marine technology that is more eco-friendly in nature. The term “Green Technology” is applied to procedures, de-signs and sys-

tems that helps contribute in an eco-friendly fashion. Green Technology is nothing new and has existed for years but often dis-

regarded for various reasons. One such example being the Flettner Rotor which had been developed as early in the 1920s but

was shelved on an economic basis as the high capital costs outweighed the low bunker costs. With higher fuel costs and an

increased focus on becoming “greener”, such technology is being developed again. Part of this growth in green technology is

because of new legislation. With tougher legislation being implemented regarding carbon emissions, it is expected billions of

dollars is to be invested by organizations to meet these emission caps, or risk large penalties. As a result of the investment

geared towards making ships greener, the industry is continually looking to develop and improve on existing ship design and

systems. These improvements are centred on driving down fuel consumption and carbon emissions, which both contribute to a

greener environment.

With this increased importance on being green, being placed by an increasing amount of stakeholders within a business, it is

becoming vital that we increase engagement between industry and academia. This is to ensure that the technology and prac-

tices match the ambition and objectives that have been set, and drive R&D across the industry.

Keynote and Invited Speakers

Dr Peter Clive, Wood,

Peter has been associated with the wind power industry since taking his PhD in physics in 2002. He has had a central role in the develop-

ment of the Galion Lidar, the 2nd generation wind Lidar system. This system enables wind fields to be surveyed with previously unobtain-

able detail and precision, revealing flow characteristics and structures that have a significant impact on the productivity and longevity of

wind power assets. Peter also pioneered the introduction of response deficit analysis into wind turbine performance assessment, allow-

ing the expertise and experience of wind analysts to be leveraged in the most focused and cost effective manner. His interests also in-

clude innovative resource assessment techniques that extract all the available information from the long and short term datasets from

The decarbonisation of global shipping

Dr Stuart Smith, Subsea7, UK

Prof O.P Sha, IIT Kharagour, India Awaiting Paper Title and CV
