Can lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors be used in short sea shipping?

This study examines the potential effects and benefits of integrating electrical energy storage systems, such as lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, into short sea shipping ships during port stay.

Which batteries are used in the maritime industry?

Rapid battery evolution in recent years in the automotive industry has greatly favoured their current application in the maritime sector. The most used batteries are lithium-ion, a type characterised by its high storage capacity and energy supply, which can best suit the conditions of space and weight in a vessel [11, 12].

Do ocean-going ships use batteries?

Ocean-going vessels have different energy needs and make longer voyages, and so they tend to use batteries in combination with other renewable energy sources or alternative fuels [11, 12, 14]. Pan et al. review the progress made in the integration of renewable energy sources (solar, wind, and fuel cells) in ships.

Can batteries be used for energy storage in shipping?

The present report provides a technical study on the use of Electrical Energy Storage in shipping that, being supported by a technology overview and risk-based analysis evaluates the potential and constraints of batteries for energy storage in maritime transport applications.

Are lithium-ion batteries a sustainable storage system?

Here, through the life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost assessment approach (LCCA), the solution integrating lithium-ion batteries as a storage system is the most sustainable, leading to a 46 % reduction in CO 2 emissions.

Can electric storage systems be used for short sea shipping?

The integration of electric storage systems in ships used for short sea shipping has been the subject of numerous studies. The study focuses on the electrification of three types of short-range ships.
