The Shimonoseki Shipyard of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries today handed over a new type of ship for Japanese shipbuilders, a liquefied CO2 carrier, which will serve as a demonstration test ship for a seaborne trade many are predicting will bubble up in the years to come.
Fuel/Energy Type: Ammonia
The world’s first clean ammonia-powered container ship
With global shipping accounting for 706 million tonnes of CO2 emissions last year, it is iimperative that we cooperate acrosss value chains to reach the 1.5°C goal by 2030.
Singapore and Korea discuss on bunkering of new marine fuels and digital initiatives
MPA was hosted by Korea’s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries at a bilateral meeting in Busan where both updated on digital initiatives and bunkering of new maritime fuels, amongst others.
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.
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.
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).
Opportunities for the UK to kick-start shipping’s transition to zero greenhouse gas emission fuel
Adoption of zero-emission fuels in the near-term is a critical step towards a decarbonised future for the shipping industry.
Ammonia toxicity concerns in focus for shipping as Singapore cleans up oil spill
Ammonia toxicity concerns are in focus after an oil spill incident in June at Singapore’s Pasir Panjang Terminal, as the shipping industry doubles down on cleaner fuels for maritime decarbonation with keen interest in risk management and preparedness to deal with future bunker spills.
Successful ship-to-ship ammonia transfers pave the way for ammonia bunkering in the Pilbara region
A Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation-led consortium has successfully conducted ship-to-ship transfers of ammonia at anchorages within the Port of Dampier on 14 September 2024.
Tugboat powered by ammonia sails for the first time, showing how to cut emissions from shipping
On a tributary of the Hudson River, a tugboat powered by ammonia eased away from the shipyard dock and sailed for the first time to show how the maritime industry can slash planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions.
