Why does a leading aerospace research institution play a pivotal role in the maritime-focused MARPOWER project? DLR brings unmatched combustion technology expertise, cutting-edge infrastructure, and deep knowledge of hydrogen systems to help develop the next generation of climate-friendly energy systems.
Bringing extensive expertise in project coordination and strategic communication, Zabala Innovation is ensuring the smooth execution of MARPOWER while maximising its visibility, stakeholder engagement, and long-term impact across the maritime innovation ecosystem.
Bringing over 160 years of regulatory and technical maritime expertise, RINA ensures that MARPOWER’s MECS system meets safety, certification and sustainability standards, supporting both compliance and future scalability.
The project partner highlighted its key contributions to the MARPOWER project, focused on the development of a next-generation, fuel-flexible, zero-emissions gas turbine system for the decarbonization of maritime transport, at Spain’s leading thermodynamics conference.
Showcasing the project’s advances in active magnetic bearing technology and integrated multidisciplinary design approaches to accelerate the energy transition in high-speed onboard machinery, MARPOWER’s presence at this premier international conference strengthens collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and industry experts dedicated to sustainable solutions.
Bringing cutting-edge expertise in digital modelling and advanced energy systems, the University of Vigo is at the forefront of developing comprehensive simulation and validation tools for the MARPOWER Energy Conversion System (MECS). These robust, high-fidelity digital models capture the full complexity of system behaviour, enabling precise performance assessment and optimization across a wide range of operating scenarios. This integrated approach is paving the way for smarter, more efficient, and lower-emission power solutions, accelerating the transition toward sustainable maritime transport.
Leading voices in high-speed electromechanical innovation gathered in Lappeenranta, including Aurelia Turbines’ Toni Hartikainen, who presented the MARPOWER Project’s mission to decarbonize maritime transport through advanced gas turbine systems and sustainable fuels.
