To address key issues in related to biofuels used in ships based on the physical and chemical properties of FAME-based biodiesel oil, this study highlights key factors to consider when using marine biofuels on ships and addresses major issues in international regulations concerning exhaust gases generated from combustion and related verification
Sector: Shipping
Recommendations for Design and Operation of Ammonia-Fueled Vessels Basd on Multi-disciplinary Risk Analysis
To understand the risks of using ammonia, including primarily toxicity, onboard fires and explosions and provide the safeguards that can be implemented to reduce them to tolerable levels
Oil Analysis & Forecast to 2028
To provides analysis, data, and information on the demand, supply, refining, and logistics distribution of petroleum resources. Based on the current data identified, the paper predicts the demand and supply of fuel oil energy resources on land and at sea until 2028 and provides related information. In addition, the outlook for international petroleum-based energy is analysed based on development information on new and renewable energy produced by region, especially in the Middle East and Asia, including China and India.
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.
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
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
Climate Action in Shipping (Progress Towards Shipping’s 2030 Breakthrough)
To urge further progress through evaluation of the performance of the technology and supply sector, demand sector, finance sector, policy sector and civil society sector in shipping over the past year
