27 April - 29 April
Using real-life case studies wherever possible, and with a focus on Iberia and the wider Mediterranean region, the ship.energy summit in Valencia will provide a platform for shipping, fuel and technology experts to share their insights on how projects can be brought to scale and commercialisation as the clock ticks down to 2030 and 2050. Held at and supported by the Port of Valencia.
SES22 Programme
Venue: The Port of Valencia
The one and a half-day conference will examine the rate and scale of progress in moving projects from the drawing board to commercialisation. It will also debate the two main approaches to shipping’s decarbonisation – aiming for net or absolute zero from the outset versus taking a step-by-step approach – and consider if they can be reconciled.
Programme details are updated regularly and are subject to change as new speakers are confirmed and themes developed.
Standard Pass: £995
Table top exhibition open for viewing
Shipping’s decarbonisation is also spurring innovation in technology development. Experts in ship engine systems, energy storage systems, wind-assist technology, and vessel performance optimisation solutions will review some of the exciting projects that are pushing the envelope in the energy transition.

Shipping’s journey to zero in the timescale required will be hard and challenging. But two of the ‘elephants in the room’ in the decarbonisation debate are funding and skills. In the final session of the conference, panellists will consider how banks are supporting the energy transition and will look at the financing options available to maritime stakeholders. Lastly, a shortage of skilled crew is a major problem facing shipping today. So, as 2050 approaches, how will shipping and the wider maritime sector recruit and train employees to use the new fuels and technologies?
