CAPTN ENERGY
Bringing renewable energies to maritime application
The objective of CAPTN Energy is the development of methods for the conversion and storage of renewable energies as well as the transport and use of such energies for maritime applications in the Kiel Fjord and Kiel Canal area.
Around 50 regional partners have pledged their support for the initiative. The Innovation Alliance is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) through the program ‘WIR! – Change through Innovation in the Region’.

Following a successful interim evaluation in 2024, an additional €7 million in funding will be provided until the end of 2027.
