The overall goal in MARINA is to reduce emissions and increase the use of alternative fuels in the marine sector. To do so, the project aims to create a network between key players in all the Nordic countries to identify policy and roadmap recommendations for Nordic policy and decision makers on how to increase the use of alternative fuels and reduce emissions from marine applications. It is important in all aspects to increase efficiency and reduce waste in the fragile environment of the North Atlantic. The recommendations shall put forward goals for 2025 and also longer term goals, i.e. 2050. They should specify actions, CO2 reduction goals, national & Nordic programs, international cooperation, infrastructure and alternative fuel resources among others. The outcome will be published in a “white paper” at the end of the project and the project will host a conference to disseminate key findings. It is expected that the Marina network can continue on after the lifetime of the project, and become to some extent self-sufficient.
