Adoption of zero-emission fuels in the near-term is a critical step towards a decarbonised future for the shipping industry.
Fuel/Energy Type: Ammonia
Advancing zero-emission maritime solutions: Case study of an ammonia-powered fuel cell system implementation
The international scientific community asserts that ammonia will play an essential role in decarbonizing ships, primarily due to its abundance, availability in ports, and potential for production from renewable sources (green ammonia).
Researchers can help shipowners achieve ambitious climate targets
International shipping does not want to be a climate bad guy and is aiming to be emission-free by 2050. A new tool designed by researchers in Trondheim can help shipowners who are searching for green solutions.
World’s First Use of Ammonia as a Marine Fuel ina Dual-Fuelled Ammonia-Powered Vessel in the Port of Singapore
Fortescue, with the support from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) government agencies, research institutes, and industry partners, has successfully conducted the world’s first use of ammonia, in combination with diesel in the combustion process, as a marine fuel onboard the Singapore-flagged ammonia-powered vessel, the Fortescue Green Pioneer, in the Port of Singapore.
