Trafigura and Yara International signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on the development and promotion of the use of ammonia as a marine clean fuel.

d’Amico Group, Trafigura, ABS, RINA, LR FOBAS, the Liberian Registry and MAN Energy Solutions team up to launch a decarbonization project with Lifecycle strategy.

A consortium, including energy company Uniper, Siemens Energy, trading firm Toyota Tsusho and Associated British Ports, has submitted a joint bid into the UK Clean Maritime Fund for matched funding to develop their vision for a low carbon hydrogen supply to the Port of Immingham.

A recent study on the upcoming FuelEU Maritime proposal finds that a promotion of biofuels may raise serious enforcement concerns, as a mandatory fuel standard is aimed to apply to fuels purchased also outside the EU. This could jeopardise the achievement of emissions reductions.

The Port of Oostende is leading a new project to support this objective of realising a full-scale use of zero-emission fuels in the maritime sector and to tackle the obstacles that currently exist to their use.

Amid a growing discussion on ammonia as an attractive fuel solution to decarbonization, Japanese entities NYK Line, Nihon Shipyard, and ClassNK inked a MoU with Yara International to jointly study the practical application of an ammonia-fueled ammonia gas carrier that uses ammonia as its main fuel.

A newly-established Nordic Green Ammonia-Powered Ship (NoGAPS) consortium revealed that green ammonia holds potential to play a significant role in decarbonizing maritime transport if investors and operators are presented with a credible business model.

From wind, to steam, to diesel engines and autonomous ships, vessels’ propulsion is a constant struggle to innovate.

In an effort to reach climate neutrality by 2050, experts say all technological options must be exploited, while synthetic fuels are currently still being treated very unfairly.

Leading shipping executives joined the Global Maritime Forum's call for a net-zero path for shipping by 2050, noting that, to get there, zero-emissions ships must become the dominant and competitive choice by 2030.
