GreenConnect (Connecting green transition to new competitive advantage in transport solutions)

Description: Two-year research project aims at developing green transportation concepts to support the green transition. In the GreenConnect project, potential emission reduction measures in door-to-door transports, including maritime transportation, are examined, carbon dioxide emission calculation models and accuracy are improved, and business potential for green competitive advantage is investigated. The research focus of TSE is primarily on market-driven green transportation solutions that aim to reduce emissions beyond market standards and future regulation. These solutions not only contribute to accelerating the green transition but also provide companies competitive opportunities and differentiation in the market. The project is developing concrete solutions for three transportation modes: bulk cargo transportation, truck and trailer traffic, and container traffic. The project is part of the Zero Emission Marine (ZEM) program coordinated by Wärtsilä (https://www.zemecosystem.com).
