The efforts obligation set out in the Grant Agreement aims at reducing CO² emissions by at least 25%. We refer to the meeting with INEA/DG MOVE of 15-07-2016 where we already stated that a VUB emission study based on 3 real-life scenarios shows that the current design of WT+ (self-propelled barges when sailing alone, coupled in convoys, increased carrying capacity) already results in a significant gain in transport efficiency (CO2 in g/tkm).
