L’innovation pour «verdir» le transport fluvial
Strasbourg, 29/11/2018

2. Introduction Expertise and Innovation Centre for inland Barging (EICB)
Founded by Dutch inland waterway transport (IWT) sector organisations: Promote innovative and green sector
Research and demonstration projects: PROMINENT
Market-uptake and rollout of innovations: European Inland Barging Innovation Platform
Clean Inland Shipping (CLINSH)
Improve air quality in urban areas situated close to ports and inland waterways, by accelerating IWT emission reductions
European Commission LIFE+ project, 2016 – 2020
Partners in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and UK

3. From research to market-uptake
Research: PROMINENT
Market-uptake: EIBIP/BATELIA

4. Clean Inland Shipping Clean Inland Shipping:
Improve air quality in urban areas situated close to
ports and inland waterways, by accelerating IWT
emission reductions
Demonstrate and measure to what extent emission
reduction technologies, alternative fuels can reduce air pollutant emissions
Activities:
Demonstration and monitoring of emission reducing technologies
Demonstration of onshore power supply
Emission modelling and database
Socio-economic study for the application of technologies
Policy recommendations

5. Demonstration & monitoring vessels
1st group of vessels (26 vessels):
After-treatment (SCR+DPF): 6
(including 1 with EURO VI engine + 1 reference vessel)
Fuel-Water Emulsion: 2
Hybrid / diesel electric: 1
GTL (gas-to-liquid): 2
Monitoring (already equipped with emission reduction technology): 15
2nd group of vessels (9 vessels):
Parallel monitoring LNG (liquified natural gas): 1 (+ 1 reference vessel)
Parallel monitoring diesel electric: 2 (+ 1 reference vessel)
HVO (biodiesel): 1
Monitoring (already equipped): 3
Monitoring on 35 vessels

6. Demonstration & monitoring activities
3 onboard measurements
January 2019 – March 2020
Monitoring on already equipped vessels
Continuation of monitoring
Monitoring
Monitoring with technology
3-6 months
9 months
Installation of monitoring equipment
Installation of emission-reducing technology
Dataset for emission modelling

7. Outcomes and results
Outcomes of demonstrations and monitoring will be used…:
To inform ship-owning companies: Which technologies are possible to apply and what are costs and benefits of them?
→ Also used in greening tool (as used by EIBIP and BATELIA)
In modelling real emissions from IWT and effect in urban areas
In recommendations to policy makers: How can these technologies contribute to greening IWT and what is needed to support the implementation of these technologies?
→ E.g. incentives, certification, financing
