Activities funded
- Develop innovative systems and technologies to measure, record, analyze, monitor, and visualize energy consumption and GHG emissions across the Royal Canadian Navy fleet.
- Create an energy management infrastructure to organize and analyze energy consumption and GHG emission data.
Official resources
Additional information
- The RCN fleet considered includes existing Halifax Class vessels, Kingston Class vessels, ORCA class vessels, and the forthcoming Canadian Surface Combatant, Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship (AOPS), and Joint Support Ship (JSS) vessels.
- Innovators are asked to assume naval vessels are constrained to conventional diesel fuel oils and that significant changes to existing propulsion systems are not practical.
