The ocean is the greatest ally in our efforts to address the climate crisis, generating 50% of the oxygen we need & absorbing 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.

Wednesday's #WorldOceansDay is a reminder of the urgency to #SaveOurOcean. https://t.co/wmZGFeZOZE

⛴️ Maritime transport is the backbone of trade.

But #DYK it releases 9⃣4⃣0⃣ m tonnes of #CO2 each year? Making ships more #ecofriendly is key to achieving our goals.

🛩️ The @AIRCOATProject aims to reduce emissions by making the boats fly.

#EU-funded @AIRCOATProject presents a new, bio-inspired coating solution for reducing #maritime #shipping #emissions!

A new foil creates a passive air layer for #ship hulls making them more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.

Each year, the #velocity efficiency of the #ships is reduced by 10% because of #biofouling created on the hull. AIRCOAT foil is aiming to avoid the creation of biofouling in addition to its drag reduction effect.

Drag reduction is one of the main objectives of our project. Reducing #drag will in turn reduce the #fuelconsumption and thus #GHGemissions of #maritimetransport.
