Last May, the Yacht Club de Monaco hosted a flagship event organized by the Monaco Yachting Cluster, focusing on the energy transition in the yachting industry. This meeting, bringing together leaders and innovators from the sector, explored the advances and challenges related to energy sustainability in yachting.
A Panel of Experts
Participants included influential players such as Monaco Marine, Fraser Yachts, Sunreef Yachts and COVERSHIP. As a panelist, Camille Lopez from HY-Plug had the opportunity to share her expertise on recent developments and future perspectives in the energy transition.
Advances and Innovations
Over the years, the yachting industry has gradually expanded its scope of energy exploration. While the early days were marked by an interest in hydrogen and electricity, current research is also turning to diversified solutions such as biofuels and methanol. These innovations, particularly for hydrogen storage, make it possible to integrate several energy sources on the same vessel, thus offering new possibilities for improving sustainability.
Key Points of the Conference
Essential Dialogue : Engaging in discussions with yacht owners, crew members and stakeholders is crucial to moving energy initiatives forward. Real-world experiences and field tests are also important.
Simplicity and Innovation : Simple actions, such as adjusting heating or air conditioning, can significantly contribute to reducing energy consumption.
80/20 Rule : Focus on the most impactful aspects to achieve effective results.
Positive Feedback : Participants found the conference both informative and practical, appreciating the richness of the discussions.
To effectively navigate the energy transition, a thorough understanding is essential. This involves attending specialized conferences, reading scientific articles, and continuing education. HY-Plug offers training on the fundamentals of the energy transition to help understand these complex issues.
The commitment of pioneering companies, such as those present at this event, is an important step towards a sustainable future. Now is the time for all players in the sector to fully commit to this transition.
