As the most efficient carrier of Hydrogen, Methanol is the preferred fuel source for a solution seen as critical to reducing emissions, writes Chris Chatterton, The Methanol Institute.

NGOs and regulators alike should think bigger in addressing local pollution and the impact of climate change, says Chris Chatterton, The Methanol Institute

A leading shipbroker remarked to a recent conference panel session that for more shipowners to commit to LNG as fuel required much more support from the energy majors whose cargoes they might carry. In fact, Mr Christopher D. Chatterton, Chief Operating Officer of the Methanol Institute states that the majors have already come out in support of LNG as fuel.

As the shipping is becoming more and more interested in reducing its emissions, Chris Chatterton, COO of the Methanol Institute, discusses about the challenges arising from decarbonisation for the maritime sector. The next decade and beyond will be far more complex for the shipping industry than the previous one and the carbon challenge sits behind every analysis, Mr. Chatterton argues.
