Charting a Course: Batteries in the Maritime Industry - The Faraday Institution

Written By Ayomide Salifu

Low-carbon energy technologies such as ammonia, batteries, e-fuels, biofuels and hydrogen fuel cells are rapidly gaining traction in the maritime industry. Heavy fuel oil will soon no longer be the primary choice for propulsion. Battery technology is an important part of the mix, offering energy efficiency, reduced emissions and improved performance for smaller vessels, with hybrid solutions emerging for longer distances and international shipping. The UK can be at the forefront of these developments but must invest in port and charging infrastructure.

In this insight, you will find

  • Alternative technologies for the maritime sector

  • The size of the battery-powered maritime market

  • Performance characteristics of battery technology in maritime industry

  • Proposed actions to develop and support the UK maritime industry
