Hi, NRP Zero speaking here:

We are 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗖-𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆, and why we are backing C-Leanship to be part of solving them.

At NRP Zero, we’re all about Nordic companies shaking things up in transitioning to sustainable energy. The shipping industry alone is responsible for nearly 3% of global CO₂ emissions, which is set to climb if we don’t act now.

We like to invest in companies that have commercial solutions to challenges in the energy system and that disrupt conventional ways of solving these challenges, independently of subsidies or regulations.

So why C-Leanship, in light of the challenges in the industry?

🔸𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀: The price and availability of alternative fuels are key challenges. Over time and with more demand, we believe the price for alternative fuels will eventually decrease. C-Leanship can help accelerate the adoption rate of alternative fuels by improving fuel efficiency through clean hulls. And in the case of electrified ships, fuel efficiency equals energy efficiency.

🔸 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Shipping will face stricter decarbonization requirements. The implementation of EU ETS for shipping and talks from the IMO of introducing a global GHG tax will further strengthen the case for fuel efficiency.

🔸 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: The spread of invasive species is threatening global marine ecosystems. Closed-loop systems like C-Leanship’s wastewater collection can help mitigate this.

In short, C-Leanship fits well into our mission to accelerate the energy transition today by providing measurable benefits from day one and laying the groundwork for a sustainable future.
