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.
Publication Type: Report
Bio-Ethanol as an alternative fuel for vessels
To firmly ensure the research on CO2 reduction in shipping by depicting advantages and disadvantages of bio-ethanol as an alternative fuel for shipping decarbonization
The Poseidon Principles: 2023 Annual Disclosure Report
The Poseidon Principles, embraced by 80% of global ship finance, have aligned with the IMO’s net-zero emissions ambition by 2050, reflecting a commitment to climate action and transparency in maritime lending decisions. Despite industry challenges, such as port congestion and personnel shortages, the principles have shown significant progress in decarbonization efforts, with a +95.4% reporting percentage indicating growing industry recognition of the importance of transparency and collaboration in achieving sustainability goals. The publication of the 2023 Annual Disclosure Report highlights the shipping finance sector’s leadership in fostering a more sustainable future for the maritime industry.
Commercial Readiness of Absolute Zero GHG Technologies
ZESTAs’ paper discusses findings from the MARIN NL Model for ESSF SAPS, which compares various marine fuels’ greenhouse gas emissions over a 100-year Global Warming Potential (GWP), noting that some fuels produce 0% emissions over this period. Only technologies reaching at least demonstration stage (TRL7 or higher) are considered. Additionally, references are made to Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and Commercial Readiness Levels (CRLs) following expanded definitions presented to ISWG-GHG 14 by IMO Secretariat, DNV, and Ricardo plc on 22nd March 2023.
Taking Action on Operational Efficiency (Operational Efficiency Ambition Statement Actions Report)
To analyze the experience and content of 26 shipping companies introducing 70 measures aimed at improving operational efficiency and reducing GHG emissions.
Based on this, in order to improve ship operation efficiency, the report describes key issues and related cases in which interested organizations, such as ship owners, charterers, management companies, ports, and terminals closely related to ship operation, should cooperate with each other.
Potential of Hydrogen as Fuel for Shipping
To identify the potential for adopting hydrogen as a marine fuel by examining the production capacity, the regulatory landscape, and technologies along with techno-economic analyses and risk-based case studies
2023 Maersk Sustainability Report
To introduce the ESG strategy and goal achievement plans pursued by Maersk, the world’s second-largest shipping company.
Onboard Carbon Capture – An overview of technologies to capture CO2 on board ships
To emphasize the necessity of applying onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) technology based on international maritime decarbonization regulatory trends, the current status of technology development, regional policy trends, and commercialization improvement challenges are introduced. In particular, the practical issues that need to be addressed and the corresponding level of technology required for the application of OCCS technology on ships are demonstrated through case studies.
Safe Bunkers of Biofuels
To ensure the safe biofuel bunkering of ships at ports, the characteristics that may arise in biofuel bunkering are summarized and explained based on the existing regulations and procedures for conventional marine fuel bunkering.
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
