Fuelling shipping’s methanol powered orderbook
The orderbook for methanol powered vessels has increased significantly in recent years becoming a serious part of the alternative fuels mix, although availability of green methanol remains a concern
MOL starts use of bio-LNG fuel for car carrier Celeste Ace key milestone toward achieving net zero emissions by 2050
The bio-LNG fuel supplied by Titan will have a carbon intensity (carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy consumed) of less than zero on a life cycle basis from fuel production to consumption
Case for engine retrofits clouded by lack of green fuels
Failure to scale up suitable quantities of well-priced green fuels has blunted a projected rush to retrofit ships with cleaner engines, a delay that will potentially bring a bottleneck at repair yards further down the line, according to a new study from Lloyd’s Register (LR).
Recommendations to accelerate the production of green fuels
