Annual Conference 2020 - A-Z: Absolute Zero - From Marine Renewables to Zero Emissions Ship Design

IMarEST TV recording from the 10th July 2020 IMarEST Annual Conference A-Z: Absolute Zero - From Marine Renewables to Zero Emissions Ship Design, presented by John Butler, Council Member IMarEST,an accomplished business manager with over 20 years experience in maritime, oil & gas and energy transition industries and Madadh MacLaine, Founder and Secretary General of Zero Emissions Ship Technology Association (ZESTAs)and CEO of Zero Emissions Maritime Technology Ltd (ZEM-Tech).

In this presentation we will take a holistic view of shipping's path to decarbonisation from A to Z: from marine renewable energy sources, through offshore green hydrogen production, to onboard systems, demonstrating how true zero is imminently achievable. We crack the chicken and egg conundrum by approaching supply, demand and use, of green hydrogen as an integrated system. Individually each of these sectors are poised for transition. Coordinated cross sectorial upscaling will kickstart the launch into an exponential trend curve of technology deployment.

About IMarEST Annual Conference

Building on last year’s inaugural event, the 2020 Annual Conference will feature multiple streams covering many of the hottest topics in the marine realm, from the challenges of decarbonisation and a wider shift to greener, more sustainable ways of operating to developments in the naval sector and the outlook for autonomous systems.

Over the course of two weeks, we will utilise a mixture of live formats – webinars, live debates, 1-2-1 talks with experts, and panel discussions - to provide delegates a flexible and unrivalled opportunity to participate in debates, to learn about subjects outside their day-to-day work, and to make new professional connections.

Although the change to a virtual format was made primarily in response to Covid-19, it will allow international members who ordinarily would be unable to travel to London and attend in person to fully take part in proceedings and bring a global voice to the event.

To maximise interaction and engagement, we encourage all delegates to download our new event app, which will help you keep track of what’s happening when, take part in live polls, access supporting content and network with other participants and sponsors.
