We work at the convergence of two net zero megatrends
Electric Marine Transportation
The global fishing fleet alone emits the same amount of GHG as 45 million cars.
Near shore marine vessels are going electric. International standards, national regulations, and customer demand are creating ambitious green requirements.
Net Zero Electricity Grids
The power and utility sector is responsible for 35% of all emissions globally.
Getting to net zero targets requires widespread adoption of intermittent renewables like wind and solar – and massive amounts of energy storage.
HOW WE HELP
What is Vessel-to-Grid
and how does it solve the problem?
Vessel-to-grid is a revolutionary technology that allows electric boats to not only consume power but also feed power back into the grid. Electric boats are connected bidirectionally to the grid, allowing them to charge their batteries when power is greener and inexpensive, and then feed that power back into the electric grid when demand is high.
- Vessel operators gain financially when tied to the dock
- Electric grid can take on more renewables like solar and wind
- Grids need less dedicated energy storage
- Path to net zero is more affordable

BlueGrid Operations unlocks the value of vessel-to-grid
BlueGrid technology makes it possible for electric vessels to be virtual power plants for the electric grid. It turns many electric vessels, built by many different manufacturers, being used at different times, into utility grade energy storage.
The BlueGrid Operations service has the data and intelligence to aggregate and optimize vessels’ batteries into reliable and scalable grid energy storage.
BlueGrid Insights charts the path to net zero
The move from fossil fuels to green energy needs to be as informed as it is urgent. Our Insights services provide the data and analysis to accelerate your transition.
- Vessel Insights – Energy and voyage data and analysis to inform vessel electrification decisions and design
- Grid Insights – Vessel-to-grid data and analysis to inform infrastructure, operations and value
