E-kerosene: putting the puzzle together Great partner day for Arcadia eFuels last week in #Copenhagen, it was fantastic to see so many people contribute to this 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐞-𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in #Vordinborg. Key takeaways: 💡 Countries need to produce their own sustainable fuel thanks to local green #electricity and #CO2. This will be vital to their 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲. This is precisely what Arcadia’s e-kerosene will contribute to. And from Technip Energies in Rome to Topsoe in Copenhagen and BNP Paribas in Paris, it is truly a European story that Arcadia is writing. 🇪🇺 💡 E-kerosene isn’t just any fuel. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬. The part we all know is the CO2 impact, That’s because it reduces carbon by 100% compared the fossil fuel thanks to a full electrification of its plant. On top of that, 𝐞-𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 once it’ll be used at scale. That’s because it doesn’t spit out the same #soot and particulate matter as fossil fuel. And the cherry on top is that e-kerosene 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲: an aircraft will have to carry less fuel weight to cover the same distance. More on these two benefits 🔜 💡 But like any good puzzle, 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠. One is around demand: 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, despite their high SAF ambitions. Without these offtake agreements, it’s hard to secure the financial sector’s backing for capital-intensive projects like an e-kerosene plant. One potential solution is to 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝-𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 to reduce the price of e-kerosene, such as the 𝐒𝐀𝐅 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐔 𝐄𝐓𝐒. Did you know about that?  💶 Here’s a very concrete step towards sustainable aviation that I’m proud to contribute to as 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚 💪

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭: 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🌊🌊 At Inspiralia Nordics, we're proud to introduce the WHISPER project—a cutting-edge four-year project focused on dramatically reducing emissions in the long-distance maritime industry. The project is set to showcase impressive fuel savings—targeting around 30% on a retrofit bulk carrier and over 15% on a retrofit containership. The WHISPER project is evidence of the power of collaboration. It brings together a diverse and skilled team of experts from across Europe, all working towards a common goal of a fully modular retrofit solution. By integrating a wind-solar hybrid power system to reduce auxiliary engine emissions and a tilting wing sail system for wind-assisted propulsion, this team aims to cut primary engine fuel consumption and emissions significantly. An Icelandic organisation leads this pioneering project, driving change for a greener maritime future.

We're finishing the week with the news that we are now proud members of IETA. IETA is a non-profit organisation representing businesses that are committed to smart, well-designed and effective carbon markets to help achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. When IETA was set up in 1999, its mission was "to achieve climate objectives with minimal economic harm". This pragmatic, realistic vision aligns with our own. We see our specialist insurance products and services as part of the solution to growing the carbon markets in a way that combines profit and purpose; recognising that without robust financial mechanisms underpinning the market, progress is impossible. #carboninsurance #carbonmarkets

Towards a sustainable future at sea. 🌎 Together with Hurtigruten we are revealing the next step in the SeaZero project: the second-generation coastal cruise ship, designed to operate completely emission-free under normal conditions. With cutting-edge technology like large batteries, retractable sails, and solar panels, the vessel aims to reduce energy consumption by 40-50%. Key innovations include: ⛵️ OceanWings sails: Could reduce energy consumption by 10%. ☀️ Solar Panels: Adding an extra 2-3% in energy savings. 💨 Air lubrication: Cutting drag by 5-10%. 🛏️ Smart cabins: Allowing guests to monitor and manage their own energy use via an app. “Hurtigruten has been part of an industry with significant pollution, and it is crucial that we now take major steps to reduce emissions. Our goal is to have an emission-free ship in operation by around 2030,” says CEO in Hurtigruten Hedda Felin.
