We are pleased to invite you to the seminar “Environmental Risk Assessment of the Use of Green Fuels in Shipping”, which marks the completion of a research project funded by the VELUX Foundation.
The seminar aims to bring together researchers and stakeholders to examine and discuss environmental impacts, risks, and remaining knowledge gaps associated with the implementation of green fuels in the maritime sector. Participation is free but signup is required.
The programme will include presentations by invited contributors, as well as dissemination and discussion of the project’s key findings.
Date: 17 June 2026
Time: 09:30–14:30
Venue: Copenhagen Business School (CBS) – Dalgas Have 15, Frederiksberg, Room DH.V.0.46
