On 25 February 2026, MarLEN and PATH2ZERO joined forces for a cross-sector webinar exploring decarbonisation pathways for both maritime and road transport, attracting 44 participants from across the research, policy, and industry communities.

Programme highlights:

  • An opening session contextualised the current state of transport decarbonisation across both the maritime and road sectors, framing the shared policy and innovation challenges
  • In-depth presentations from the MarLEN and PATH2ZERO project teams showcased the latest research findings, vessel design concepts, and practical implementation strategies from each initiative
  • An interactive Q&A session allowed participants to engage directly with project experts on EU-level policy frameworks, alternative fuels, and cross-modal decarbonisation strategies

Key takeaways:

  • Maritime and road transport decarbonisation share significant common ground, particularly around alternative fuels, digital monitoring, and EU regulatory alignment
  • Evidence-driven policy was identified as a critical enabler, with both projects contributing complementary datasets and methodologies that together offer a more comprehensive view of the transport transition
  • The webinar highlighted the value of structured collaboration between Horizon Europe projects as a model for amplifying research impact across sectors
