Summer School #5: Energy Efficiency of Marine Systems

The fifth VENTuRE summer school held at UNIGE on the 7 – 9 September, 2022.  The school covered the theoretical approaches behind the energy efficiency definitions used by IMO and other stakeholders for the marine sector. CO2 emissions and EEDI, EEXI, CII indexes were introduced. The role of the new fuels, energy efficiency devices (e.g. wind assisted propulsion) and best operational practices were delivered and discussed.
