CEDA Working Group on Energy Efficiency

Over CEDA Working Group on Energy Efficiency

Energy plays a role in the entire lifecycle of dredging projects, and decisions made early in the project initiation phase can have huge impacts on later energy consumption. Also, legislation, relating to emissions and sustainability, is becoming more strict. The IMO has adopted mandatory energy-efficiency measures, to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping, which, for the time-being at least, exclude dredgers. With that in mind, the CEDA Environment Commission (CEC) has set up this Working Group specifically to prepare a CEDA information paper on Energy Efficiency in relation to sustainability. The Working Group on Energy Efficiency has 9 expert members with various backgrounds, from countries across the CEDA region. The information paper will highlight aspects related to energy efficiency during all stages of dredging projects (from initiation to design, and execution to completion). The paper will address dredging equipment, looking at everything from the choices made in dredger design to equipment selection. It will aim to facilitate knowledge exchange, and highlight current best practice, and will allow for structured optimisation which leads to increased efficiency.
