Green Navigation wins €93K grant from Missions València 2030

Hello dear readers,

I’m thrilled to share that Green Navigation, our weather-routing project for maritime decarbonization, has been awarded €93,000 in funding by Missions València 2030! This initiative is part of the city’s ambitious strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 55% in the coming years, contributing to the European Union’s broader climate neutrality goals by 2050.

As project lead, I had the opportunity to present Green Navigation directly to the jury, where I explained our vision for reducing emissions from commercial shipping through algorithmic route optimization. I’m proud to share that our project was ranked top by the jury, earning first-place recognition and full funding support.

Green Navigation helps cargo ships reduce fuel use and emissions by optimizing routes based on real-time weather and oceanographic data. On average, vessels using our system save up to 6% in fuel, which, at scale, could lead to over 4.5 million tons of CO₂ saved annually — just in the Port of València alone.

This grant will allow us to further develop and scale our system, and it’s a testament to the growing recognition of data science as a tool for environmental impact. It also reflects the outstanding support we’ve received from the Opentop acceleration program, which continues to foster innovation within the Port of València.

Many thanks to Chema Leal, who represented our startup at the award ceremony, and to the entire Missions València team for believing in our mission.
