Research consortium wants to lay the foundation for zero-emission mobility The CAMPFIRE consortium, which includes experts from research, industry and politics, aims to develop technical solutions for zero-emission marine mobility in the near future, which could become a core element of the economy in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. At a workshop held today, 31 January, at the…
On 31 October 2018, we submitted the concept for our project to the project management agency. This concludes the concept phase of the Wandel durch Innovation in der Region (WIR!) programme. For the past seven months, we have worked intensively to develop a strategy outlining the steps to achieve our vision: ‘Wind and water to…
On 11 September, roughly 70 representatives of science, industry and politics discussed the use of new technologies for the marine mobility transition in the Northeast region of Germany. The workshop was the highlight of the seven-month concept phase of the CAMPFIRE research project and confirmed that the project enjoys strong support in the region. Christian…
On 24 August, partners from the Campfire consortium, including representatives of industry and science, gathered for a second workshop at INP in Greifswald to develop strategies for implementing zero-emission fuels in a broad range of marine propulsion systems. Workshop participants discussed approaches that would utilise ammonia and hydrogen, as well as CO2-neutral fuels such as…
The CAMPFIRE research consortium created a roadmap for synthesising resources at the first partner workshop, held on 22 June 2018. The conclusion: the production of climate-friendly, synthetic fuels from surplus wind energy can be carried out particularly efficiently and with long-term stability if electroceramic thin-film membrane technology is utilised. The workshop brought together 25 representatives…
