Eric Grégoire, CEO of Igneo portfolio company Scandlines
In this fifth episode of our Innovation in Infrastructure podcast mini-series we are delighted to welcome Eric Grégoire, the CEO of Igneo portfolio company Scandlines. Scandlines already owns the world’s largest fleet of hybrid ferries which operate between Germany and Denmark. The company is about to take the next big step on its green journey with the upcoming launch of a zero direct emissions-freight ferry on its Puttgarden-Rodby route. When the 147m ferry enters operations its 10 MWh battery will be chargeable within 12 minutes between each one-hour crossing.
This episode explores not only the company’s innovation in the operations of zero direct emissions and electrification of vessels but also describes the culture of innovation being created by the Scandlines Academy and other innovations in energy consumption. We thank Simon Montague from the Global Infrastructure Investor Association (GIIA) for his continued support in hosting this series.
