To expect the timing of adoption and commercialization of green alternative fuel engines from the perspective of international shipping and explain the major roles of stakeholders related to alternative fuels in shipping
Fuel Type: LNG
Cost of Regulatory Compliance Lower with LNG
To provide information on the impact of alternative fuels choice
Maritime Forecast to 2050
To analyze the current state of the shipping industry’s carbon emission reduction transition and the prospects for new technologies and stretegies, including ship design and fuel selection, necessary to achieve full net-zero
Applying Alternative Fuels to Existing Ships (Engine Retrofit Report 2023)
To explore decarbonization through retrofitting existing ships and analyze the price gap between alternative fuels and conventional fuels through forecast scenarios for the application of alternative fuel technologies in ship retrofits
It is worth noting that this report proposes a required carbon tax of $350 per ton of CO2 in order to bridge the price gap between existing marine fuels and the latest eco-friendly alternative fuels, such as methanol and ammonia.
Options for Reducing Methane Emissions from New and Existing LNG-Fueled Ships
To evaluate the effectiveness of various technological and operational measures to reduce methane emissions from LNG-fueled vessels, to assess the current status of LNG engine technology, and finally to provide recommendations for policy changes and technological improvements to mitigate methane emissions from LNG-fueled vessels.
Economic value of methanol for shipping under fuelEU maritime and EU ETS
To evaluate the economic viability of bio-methanol and e-methanol as sustainable marine fuels within the regulatory frameworks of FuelEU Maritime and the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The report provides an analysis of compliance pathways and the economic incentives for adopting these fuels compared to fossil fuels such as VLSFO, emphasizing the penalties for non-compliance. The findings support the potential of these regulations to facilitate a transition to sustainable fuels by creating a stable investment environment for fuel producers and encouraging adoption by shipping operators.
Oceans of Opportunity
To explain the impact of green methanol and ammonia and propose the implementation of zero-emission fuel bunkering at ports by 2030
Analysis on interaction of CII with GFS: Calibrating IMO energy efficiency and fuels targets
To recommend effective strategies for the shipping sector to achieve the IMO emission reduction targets
Exploring the technical feasibility of carbon capture onboard ships
To assess the technical feasibility of implementing carbon capture systems on ships to help reduce CO2 emissions, particularly concentrating on both retrofit and newbuild vessels.
Alternative Fuels Insight
To provide insight into the future transition of international shipping to alternative fuels, focusing on achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
To offer guidance on selecting the appropriate alternative fuels and addressing the technical, economic, and regulatory factors involved in making informed decisions.
