Wärtsilä and Furetank are co-developing and testing a technology that reportedly has been showing the potential to halve methane slip.

Toxic air pollutants from cruise ships around ports are higher than pre-pandemic levels, leaving Europe’s port cities choking in air pollution, a new Transport & Environment (T&E) study shows.

The European Parliament yesterday adopted its position on a new law to reduce methane emissions from the energy sector to reach the EU’s climate goals and improve air quality.

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) announced today that it has joined the Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) as a major Partner.

Lloyd’s Register (LR) has awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) to Rotoboost, a Nordic hydrogen production company, for its pre-combustion Carbon Capture System (CCS) Rotobox.

Today, the Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) welcomed seven new members at a Lloyd’s Register LNG Forum event in Doha, Qatar.

A consortium including technology group Wärtsilä has secured European Union funding to develop solutions minimising methane slip from marine engines, advancing the environmental and climate benefits of LNG as a ship fuel.

The Methane Alert and Response System (MARS), launched at the COP 27, is a data-to-action platform set up as part of the UNEP International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) strategy to get policy-relevant data into the right hands for emissions mitigation.

Methane slip and stranded value are two key factors impeding the adoption of LNG as an attractive solution to shipping decarbonization pathway, according to two recent, separate studies, which have spurred a debate regarding the role of LNG in the maritime sector in the near future.

The Methane Abatement in Maritime (MAM) Innovation Initiative, a coalition of shipping leaders launched on  September 6th, 2022, aims to minimise the environmental impact of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in shipping, whilst aiding the transition to future fuel solutions.
