RELATECH GROUP - GRUPPO SIGLA

The Gruppo SIGLA company collaborates in the ZHENIT project funded by the Horizon Europe research and innovation program for the implementation of cutting-edge solutions for the construction of zero waste heat ships

Milan, 2nd August 2022

Relatech S.p.A., Digital Enabler Solution Know-how (DESK) Company and innovative SME listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market (Ticker: RLT), announces that, announces that Gruppo SIGLA (Company of the Relatech Group) collaborates in the ZHENIT project, funded by the Horizon Europe research and innovation program of the European Union (EU), which unites 14 partners from 7 different European countries, with the aim of implementing avant- garde for the construction of zero waste heat ships.

In 2018, the International Maritime Organization adopted a global strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipments by at least 50% by 2050. The European Commission (EC) has even more ambitious goals, namely to eliminate emissions produced in the transport sector at least 90% by the same date. In this context, ZHENIT aims to create solutions for the recovery of waste heat produced by the systems on board the ship and reduce the overall primary energy requirement of boats by up to 25%.

The project aims to fully use the overall waste heat on board (the WH) for the development and validation of solutions, tested both in the laboratory and on board the ship, to be reused in different final products (so-calledWH-to-X). The project also proposes to couple the reuse of waste heat with alternative propulsion systems (i.e. a wing sail), with ICT monitoring / energy management solutions and with thermal energy accumulators.

Within the project, Gruppo SIGLA collaborates with partners for the design and

implementation of the customized controller for the automation of the logic of use of waste heat and for the optimization of the energy parameters of all the systems involved on board the ship.

The solution will be tested in two contexts of use, both at the TECNITALIA laboratories and on the La Naumon ship (Spanish General Cargo Ship owned by the La Fura dels Baus theater company) involving the whole consortium for the design, development, commissioning of the two experimental systems. The ZHENIT project as well as the numerous R&D projects of the Group, testify how much the research and development activity is of fundamental importance for the Relatech Group, which invests significantly in the constant search for innovation through internal research hubs and thanks to solid ecosystem of scientific partnerships with universities and research centers, in order to develop cutting-edge digital solutions capable of responding to market needs.
