Eco-designed ships and climate resilient naval shipyards
Gaëlle Rousseau(3) and Marie Lévêque(3)
(3) Naval Group Technical Direction of Innovation, France
Naval Group is committed to the maritime energy and ecological transition through strong CSR initiatives out of which 6 on environmental matters. They include the reduction of the carbon footprint, eco-design of ships, green technology options for customers, living conditions onboard, climate resilience, impact on biodiversity.
Naval Group envisions to reduce by 5% per year its GHG emissions to fulfill the Paris Agreement commitments through energy consumption reduction on industrial sites, data center rationalization. Naval Group also evaluates the Carbone footprint of his ships.
Naval Group leads an eco-design approach for 10 years and shares a R&D roadmap for green innovations with his partners on energy consumption control, energy management and storage, new fuels, hybrid and full electric propulsion, innovative architectures, hydrodynamics, energy generation incl. fuel cells. But also, innovations to reduce the environmental impact of ships, such as waste treatment, resources saving, underwater noise reduction.
Climate resilience of the shipyards is a challenge addressed by Naval Group to propose resilient ships and infrastructures to his clients.
Naval Group also contributed with the Cluster Maritime Français to the creation of the Maritime Eco-Energy Transition Institute.
Challenges of coming decades out of compliance to strengthening regulation, will be the evolution of customers vision, needs and the shipyard’s missions linked to climate change.
New technologies will lead energy management to be a competitive advantage.

India’s large population and rapid industrialization in the coastal areas results increasing greenhouse gas emissions. The fossil fuel emissions have increased drastically in the last three decades. The anthropogenic input of greenhouse gases (GHG) such as CO2 and CH4 acts key contributors to climate change. The greenhouse emissions are measured in terms of the CO2 equivalents, referred as CO2 emissions. This study mainly focused on the increase concentration of CO2 gas, its causes and solution to reduce the carbon emission. The present study was carried out using the ship-based measurements of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and temperature from the coastal areas (includes major ports, harbor and ship transits) of east coast of India. The study has utilized two years data sets from the period of March 2020 to March 2022. It was observed that the CO2 concentration ranges from 350 to 550 ppm for the entire period. The maximum temperature was noticed during large concentration CO2. The maximum CO2 value was associated with the industrial emissions, major ports and harbor activities and ship freight operations. The study also exhibited massive change in the concentration of CO2 and temperature during the Covid-19 pandemic due to the country lockdown. The technology-based solutions can be achieved by adopting the bio-fuel energy utilization in the shipping industry which will result the emission reduction factor of five to six. Industrial research and development, policy making initiatives are cornerstone for GHG emissions reduction and successful sustainability strategy.
