1. Artificial intelligence in the bioeconomy
This session will explore how AI is revolutionizing fisheries, aquaculture, and seafood processing industries. Topics include AI-driven techniques for monitoring fish stocks, optimizing aquaculture operations, and enhancing seafood supply chain management. The role of machine learning in predicting marine population dynamics, improving feed efficiency, and disease prevention will be examined.
2. Applications of artificial intelligence in ports, shipping, and shipbuilding
This session will delve into how AI enhances operational efficiency and safety standards in ports, shipping, and shipbuilding. Key topics include predictive maintenance for ships and port machinery, AI-driven navigation and route optimization, and cargo handling automation. The impact of AI on ship design and construction, including digital twins and smart manufacturing, will be discussed.
3. Applications of artificial intelligence in blue technology, marine observation, and ocean spatial planning
This session will analyze AI's role in monitoring and managing marine resources. Topics include AI-powered marine observation systems, autonomous underwater vehicles, and drones for real-time data collection. The session will highlight successful AI implementations in blue technology, and future directions for AI in marine science and management.
4. Blue Fintech and Blue Carbon
Investment Trends: This session will discuss how Blue Fintech and Blue Carbon technologies improve the transparency and efficiency of the blue carbon market. Topics include blockchain and AI for tracking and verifying blue carbon credits, enhancing carbon sequestration measurements, and facilitating secure transactions.
BLUE CLEAN ENERGY SUMMIT STREAM
Focus on the production of blue renewable energy, advancements in clean fuels, and innovative technologies related to ports, shipping, shipbuilding, and marine coatings.
1. Floating offshore wind power
This session will explore platform design and stability, anchoring and mooring technologies, strategies for cost reduction, financing models backed by policy support, environmental impact assessments, community relations in fisheries, regulations and standards, integration of supply and industry chains, successful case studies, and future technological trends.
2. Marine Green Coatings and Sustainable Coating Technologies
Discussions will include eco-friendly ship coatings, painting of port machinery, anti-corrosion coatings used in marine engineering and offshore wind projects, protective coatings for oil platforms, coatings for coastal oil and gas pipelines, innovation in coating technologies, sustainable practices, policy support, standardization in the industry, and successful case studies.
3. Clean Fuels & Energy innovation in Ports and Shipping
Topics will cover the economic and technical aspects of green methanol, hydrogen, and ammonia as fuels, technologies for retrofitting existing ship engines, designs for new ships, modifications in port infrastructure to accommodate clean fuel operations, management of clean fuel supply chains and logistics, supportive policies and incentives, environmental assessments and mitigation strategies, along with sharing successful experiences and case studies. The focus will also be on the technologies and solutions that will enable ports and shipping energy infrastructure to be flexible and efficient.
4. Green Hydrogen Production and Storage
The focus will be on the technologies and cost analysis related to green hydrogen production, safe storage methods, transportation and infrastructure development, supportive policies and incentives, environmental impact assessments, market demand and application prospects, international cooperation and standardization efforts, successful case studies, and discussions on future development trends.
Parallel Sessions
