This call focuses on developing methodologies for monitoring, recording, and verifying energy used from wind-assisted propulsion (WAP) devices directly into ship propulsion. The aim is to integrate wind energy into calculations of greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of energy used on-board, supporting compliance with regulatory frameworks like FuelEU Maritime. Projects should develop a holistic framework for design optimization of WAP, assess environmental and economic benefits, address safety and operational aspects, and promote standardization efforts. Demonstrations of full-scale WAP solutions and management on-board are expected, along with methodologies applicable to various ship types and operations.
Opening Date: 06 May 2025
Deadline: 04 September 2025

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.
Expected Outcome
Standardized methods for monitoring wind energy in ship propulsion, facilitate market uptake of WAP, support regulatory compliance, enhance safety, and contribute to EU waterborne sector competitiveness.
Scope
Develop standard methodologies for integrating wind-assisted propulsion into ship energy calculations, create design optimization frameworks, assess benefits, address safety, and promote market uptake of WAP systems.
