Assessing and preventing methane slip from LNG engines in all conditions within both existing and new vessels (ZEWT Partnership)

Last updated: 17.7.2025
Grant

This EU funding program, part of the Horizon Europe framework, addresses the critical issue of methane slip from Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) engines in both existing and new vessels. By supporting innovative research and demonstration projects, it aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the climate neutrality potential of LNG as a marine fuel, fostering European leadership in sustainable waterborne transport technologies. The program operates under the co-programmed European Partnership on 'Zero Emission Waterborne Transport' (ZEWT).
