About this project
ACT (Artificial Controlled Technology) focuses on reducing CO₂ emissions in the shipping industry using AI-driven insights. Co-founded by Han van Blanken and Dirk Neugebauer, ACT employs a machine-learning-powered system to optimize fuel use for open-sea vessels. By analyzing maritime data such as wave patterns and weather, ACT can reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 40% in the long term. With backing from Carbonfix, ACT aims to revolutionize the shipping sector, which accounts for 2% of global emissions, providing both economic and environmental benefits.
