RINA and PTT sign strategic agreements to advance innovation and decarbonization across the energy and maritime sectors
The MoUs establish a framework for research and knowledge collaboration, focusing on areas of mutual interest and the exchange of expertise and experience to support innovation, sustainability and technological development, with potential applications across the energy, industrial and maritime sectors.
Under the MoUs, RINA Consulting will contribute with its engineering consultancy expertise, while RINA Services will operate in the field of certification, verification, assurance and classification, with the activities being managed in accordance with applicable internationally recognised principles of competence, impartiality and conflict-of-interest management.
Within this framework, RINA and PTT InI intend to explore the feasibility and potential opportunities for research collaboration, technical cooperation and knowledge sharing in areas such as alternative and low-carbon fuels, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), vessel electrification, digitalization, carbon management solutions, hydrogen readiness, and cold energy utilization, including potential applications in data centres and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), as well as learning and training initiatives for the maritime and industrial sectors, in support of the energy transition, innovation and technological development.
Saverio Scopelliti, RINA Consulting Commercial Executive Vice President at RINA Consulting said: "We are honoured to work with PTT and explore opportunities for technical cooperation in areas that are central to the energy transition. Through our engineering and advisory expertise, we aim to support innovation, technology development and the assessment of emerging solutions across the energy, industrial and maritime sectors."
