New Delhi [India], A 15-member contingent from C Shakthi, Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT), Coimbatore, India will participate in the 11th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) 2024 to be held in Monaco from 1 July. 6. , the team is ready to compete with its innovatively designed lightweight twin-propulsion boat powered by clean energy.
The Sea Shakti team comprises 15 young engineers from various branches of Kumaraguru Institute, united by a common vision of creating a sustainable future in the maritime sector. His constant pursuit of sustainable excellence leads him to advocate for sustainable alternatives.
“Every year, students push themselves.They are a wonderful source of ideas. Their potential is exciting to see, and we are delighted to connect them with industry players who strongly support these young engineers. Bernard D'Alessandri, Secretary General of the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM), said: "It is a great honor to welcome back the Sea Power team, whose dedication underlines the importance of this event for young engineers and leading universities.
Team C Shakti achieved a historic feat by winning the Communication Award for the second consecutive year at MEBC 2023. Last year, the team finished sixth overall and received the "Monaco Town Hall Cup".Organized by the collective “Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting” approach and YCM, under the auspices of the collective “Monaco, the capital of the world”, this event brings together pioneers of the marine industry with visionary engineers to promote alternative propulsion and sustainability in the yachting sector. The event showcases a unique confluence of yachts already existing or entering the market and innovative prototypes. The competition is open to universities worldwide and will award the best technical solution for energy efficiency and/or carbon reduction in sailing on 6 July.
“We are delighted to launch this award to help the development of the university's department with a grant of €25,000,” said Ollivier. “We hope the winners will be able to advance their practical research, be encouraged and perhaps help those prototypes move toward more industrial solutions.Participants will have the opportunity to meet famous shipyards. Such as Monaco Marine, Oceanco, Ferretti Group and Sanlorenzo.
Many regard hydrogen as a key energy source in the transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable future, meeting a wide range of energy needs. As an energy carrier, hydrogen offers a promising alternative to fossil fuels, produced from renewable sources such as solar and wind, or through the natural gas decarbonization process. Many competitors have chosen this solution. Of the 21 teams in the energy category using electric propulsion, approximately 50% (ten teams) will feature hybrid technology based on hydrogen, while the other 11 teams will store 100% of their energy in lithium-ion batteries.
