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

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.

The role of energy efficiency regulations

The characteristics of the EEDI, EEXI, and CII regulations on ship energy efficiency and their practical impact on the maritime industry were analyzed. The role of each stakeholder in achieving the original purpose of these regulations was explained in realistic terms.

In particular, it introduces the positive impact of the EEDI regulation on the development of energy efficiency improvement technologies of ships, the limitations of the EEXI regulation, and the interrelationships between stakeholders for effective implementation of the CII regulation.

Applying Alternative Fuels to Existing Ships (Engine Retrofit Report 2023)

To explore decarbonization through retrofitting existing ships and analyze the price gap between alternative fuels and conventional fuels through forecast scenarios for the application of alternative fuel technologies in ship retrofits

It is worth noting that this report proposes a required carbon tax of $350 per ton of CO2 in order to bridge the price gap between existing marine fuels and the latest eco-friendly alternative fuels, such as methanol and ammonia.

Maritime Forecast to 2050

To analyze the current state of the shipping industry’s carbon emission reduction transition and the prospects for new technologies and stretegies, including ship design and fuel selection, necessary to achieve full net-zero

Review of maritime transport 2023; Towards a green and just transition

To analyze trends in seaborn trade, global shipping services, freight rates, infrastructures at ports in 2023. etc., and discuss challenges in relation to the transition to decarbonization

Power-2-Fuel Cost Analysis

To analyze the production, distribution, and storage costs of various e-fuels and the total costs of ownership (TCO) for using these fuels in vehicles and ships

CIMAC Guideline ISO 8217:2024-FAQs

To provide answers to FAQs regarding the ISO 8217:2024 marine fuel specifications, focusing on clear and systematic explanations of the key changes in the new standard, and particularly, addressing questions about the inclusion of higher percentages of biofuel in fuels.

Fuel For Thought Ammonia: Expert insights into the future of alternative fuels

To evaluate the viability of ammonia as a sustainable alternative marine fuel, considering the current status of technology, regulatory and safety aspects, economic feasibility, and environmental impact.

Assessing impacts of EU and US policies on accelerated deployment of alternative maritime fuels

To evaluate the impact of policies, analyzing how recent climate policies from the EU and US, specifically the US Inflation Reduction Act and EU ETS along with the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, affect the adoption and deployment of alternative marine fuels.
To identify the investment implications of these policies, focusing on the synergies of the US and EU policies.
To provide actionable insights for stakeholders.
