The aim of this Deep Demonstration is, for the EIT Climate-KIC partners in Cyprus, with the support of EIT Climate-KIC, the Shipping Deputy Ministry and the Cyprus Marine and Maritime Institute, to involve all relevant stakeholders in the investigation on how the shipping industry as a whole (with emphasis in the logistics and operational aspects of it, and not focusing on a specific port) can become carbon neutral by 2050 and to design a XNUMX-year road map on how to achieve the said goal.

.

International maritime transport is responsible for around 2-3% of total global GHG emissions, with maritime CO2 emissions projected to increase considerably over the next decades. The particular Demonstration expects that the maritime sector actors will be mobilised to work together in order to achieve decarbonisation in the sector through systems innovation.

It is worth mentioning that recently the second phase of the project has started, during which the findings and outcomes of the first phase will be capitalised. More specifically, during the second phase, the project partners will work closely with the stakeholders, which have expressed interest in decarbonisation from the first project, in a participatory process to co-develop a portfolio of innovation experiments. Through this process the project will define the field for innovation action, articulate where to deploy innovation, what to leverage in order to test for emerging, breakthrough possibilities as well as scaling potential solutions and ensure that a space is created for deliberate hypotheses, design principles, choice, exploration and discovery of new possibilities and unexpected approaches.

The project will further develop tools that will assist in the benchmarking and hierarchy of the proposed measures/solutions/experiments. The final output will be the development of a portfolio blueprint ready for a formal call for proposals.
