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.
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
Will renewable electricity availability limit e-fuels in the maritime industry?
To introduce the current status and limitations of technological development of renewable electricity derived from naturally replenished sources, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, or geothermal energy, to reduce GHG emissions in international shipping and, based on this, briefly describe the project production and demand regarding e-fuels.
Mapping of Zero-Emission Pilots and Demonstration Projects, 4th edition
To provide information on pilot and demonstration projects focused on ship technology, fuel production and supply, and infrastructure solutions to achieve decarbonization in the shipping industry by 2050
Potential of Hydrogen as Fuel for Shipping
