The workshop is organized by IEA HEV TCP Task 48 Battery Swapping in collaboration with the Maritime Battery Forum

The aims of the workshop is to delve into the current market status, future prospects, challenges, and potential opportunities in the electric ships and aviation sector. Our goal is to foster collaboration across all sectors to promote the green and low-carbon evolution of ships and aviation.

The main topics of the workshop are:

R&D and Application of Power Battery Technology: This crucial area explores strategies to further elevate the endurance and power performance of power batteries. The objective is to tailor these advancements to the unique requirements of electric ships and aircraft, ensuring that they can meet the high demands of these modes of transportation in terms of range and efficiency.

Development of Charging and Swapping Infrastructure for Electric Ships and Aviation: The success of electric ships and aircraft heavily relies on robust charging and swapping facilities. Addressing the critical issues of cruising range and accessibility to charging infrastructure is vital. This involves enhancing the existing infrastructure by constructing dedicated charging and swapping stations, thereby overcoming current limitations and paving the way for broader adoption.

Market Size Forecast for Electric Ships and Aviation: This analysis delves into the ongoing evolution of the ship and aviation industries, offering insights into future development trajectories. Understanding these trends is key for stakeholders to align their strategies with market dynamics and potential growth opportunities.

Standard System and Safety Protocols for Ships and Aviation: The development of a comprehensive standard system for electric ships and aviation is paramount. This includes the establishment of rigorous safety protocols, which play a pivotal role in the sustainable growth and public acceptance of these technologies. Ensuring high safety standards is not only a regulatory necessity but also a cornerstone in fostering trust and reliability in electric maritime and aerial transport.
