We engage with you and your management team to develop your sustainability strategy, focusing on creating real impact and building long term resilience for your organisation.
Strategy and Transformation
How we can help
With deep industry insight into maritime operations, we help organizations move beyond fragmented initiatives toward a fully integrated sustainability strategy.
Our approach connects commercial priorities with environmental and societal responsibility, ensuring that sustainability becomes a driver of value and fosters resilience rather than a compliance exercise.
-
We are author whitepapers, helping industry actors get effective answers to good questions. This typically requires close interaction with the client, where we quickly need to understand key narratives and research questions. We may also need to purchase bespoke industry intelligence, for certain types of projects.
-
We have experience with high-level technology assessment and assisting with first-level assessment of green technology options and vendors.
-
We coordinate input from multiple stakeholders, pooling resources and expertise to produce original thought work that can make a difference. Thus, we curate and create content for a specific audience in collaboration with other stakeholders. This for example may be submission to the IMO.
Previous work
2020
Case: Leading high profile consortium and NoGAPS model development
Challenge
There are many obstacles in the way to get a first ammonia-propelled vessel in the water. But what are the obstacles, and how can you address them? These were some of the questions we were approached with by the Global Maritime Forum in 2020, when we were asked to lead a consortium including Ørsted, Lauritzen Kosan, DNV, DNB, Danish Ship Finance, MAN Energy Solutions and Wärtsilä, to develop the first concept model of NoGAPS; the Nordic Green Ammonia Propulsion Ship.
Solution
We facilitated the conversation between the parties, and produced the first NoGAPS report, which was published by Nordic Innovation. The report can be accessed here.
2024
Case: Electric Power Research Institute
Challenge
Through the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and GTI-Energy engaged us to explore the outlook for low-carbon ammonia demand in the Great Port of Houston. The research was intended to accelerate development and deployment of low- and zero-carbon energy technologies.
Case context
The LCRI is targeting advances in the production, distribution, and application of low-carbon, alternative energy carriers. The annual fuel volumes bunkered out of the Great Port of Houston is around 6 million metric tonnes today.
Solution
Our analysis involved a multitude of stakeholders and interviews in addition to analysing many sources of data, including AIS data for ship traffic. The final analysis suggested that by 2050, 7-14 million metric tonnes of the bunker demand in the Great Port of Houston could be net-zero, and a total of 9-24 million metric tonnes of low-carbon ammonia could be in demand from maritime users.
