e-SHyIPS

​The European project e-SHyIPS (Ecosystemic knowledge in Standards for Hydrogen Implementation on Passenger Ship) involves 7 European countries working together to define the new guidelines for an effective introduction of hydrogen in maritime passenger transport sector, and to boost its adoption within the global and EU strategy for a clean and sustainable environment, towards the accomplishment of a zero-emission navigation scenario. 

 All the main stakeholders from maritime and hydrogen sectors, research and industry will be involved. Through an ecosystem approach, the e-SHyIPS project will integrate theoretical pre-normative research activities on standards with simulation and laboratory experiments, in order to provide the needed knowledge to design an appropriate certification process and spot future standardization activities to enhance the EU normative and regulatory landscape.

CINECA is WP3 leader “Ship Design Experiments”. It will apply its strong expertise in CFD in order to study how hydrogen-based engines and storage affect performance and maneuverability of a ship. For that, it will adapt its virtual naval basin framework LincoSim to this kind of ships and operational characteristics.
