Start year 2010 End year 2011 Funding (€) € 16,000 Website NA Summary The Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed a pilot web-site on energy efficiency in fisheries, available at https://energyefficiency-fisheries.jrc.ec.europa.eu. The site is accessible directly through the Europe web-site of DG MARE for fisheries. The pilot web-site includes reference documents and studies related to energy savings in fisheries, general information on research and funding opportunities and links to relevant EU projects, EU legislation and events, among others. The Commission is planning to update, further develop and maintain this web site. The main goal is the collection of additional information to update and develop further this web-site. Some scientific experts have been involved relating to their specific knowledge and they reflects the following disciplines needed to accomplish its tasks: (1) Fishing gear technology; (2) Fishing vessel design and engineering; (3) Use of alternative or renewable energy sources. The experts are highly focused on the scientific excellence and "conceptualisation" of energy management systems based on energy monitoring, control systems, energy audits as well as other energy uses onboard. Their expertise is multidimensional, including: (1) Technology (industrial engineering, fishing technology); (2) Fisheries (management system evaluation, environment and natural resources, fisheries management, marine resource biology, fish stock assessment, fisheries legislation, fisheries policy, marine ecology, interdisciplinary fisheries science, indicators, discards, bycatch, environmental costs of energy); (3) Modelling (mathematical modelling, statistical and theoretical modelling, software engineering, applied mathematics and operational research, applied mathematics). The experts have published their work in refereed journals as well as in the public media. The main aim of this project was to compile, through surveys on existing technical literature and data, including technical reports, state and UE reports, college and PhD theses, popular articles, conference and meeting proceedings, papers produced by non-governmental organisations and other forms of non-scientific literature.
Goals:
Information collection for Fuel efficiency in fisheries, with a focus on the following topics: (1) Engines, fuels (incl. biofuels), emissions, reduced environmental impacts; (2) Vessel design and technology including propulsion systems, new hull systems, fishing boat design, auxiliary power; (3) Vessel operation (maintenance of hulls and engines); (4) Use of alternative or renewable Fuel sources (wind, hydrogen fuel cells etc.); (5) Efficient fishing gears (e.g. reduced gear drag), selectivity; (6) Fishing tactics and techniques (e.g. from active to passive techniques, routing optimization etc.); (7) Fuel management systems, Fuel monitoring and control systems, Fuel audits, other Fuel uses onboard (e.g. auxiliary engines); (8) Innovative refrigeration systems; (9) Rules and regulations (to the extent that EU or national rules impact significantly on Fuel consumption by restricting/stimulating energetically suboptimal vessels); (10) Other innovations and techniques.
