According to Rolls-Royce, green methanol has the potential to shape the energy transition, and onboard a vessel, it requires significantly less space than other alternatives such as hydrogen for fuel cells or batteries with the same range.

Dr Daniel Chatterjee, Director of Technology Management & Regulatory Affairs at Rolls-Royce Power Systems, urged that maritime needs "to commit to a certain path in three to five years time at the latest in order to achieve our overriding goal of making shipping climate-neutral by 2050.”

Rolls-Royce is focusing on methanol as a fuel for climate-friendly shipping, as  it is working on mtu engines for use with methanol.

Rolls-Royce and Sea Machines Robotics announced a collaboration that will deliver remote command, autonomous control and intelligent crew support systems to the marine market.

Rolls-Royce Power Systems is taking the next step towards a climate-neutral future, as by 2030 it aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35% compared to its 2019 level.

British giant manufacturer Rolls-Royce set out a plan to achieve net-zero emissions in aviation, shipping, and power generation by 2050 at the latest. The plan includes the development of new technologies, enabling an accelerated take-up of sustainable fuels and driving step-change improvements in efficiency.

Technology giant Rolls-Royce with its Power Systems business has set up a new organisational unit 'Power Lab' to focus on innovative and net zero carbon drive and energy solutions for the marine and infrastructure sectors.

Technology giant Rolls-Royce signed a MoU with manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions to collaborate on mýa, the open asset and fleet management system. Launched by MAN earlier this year, Mýa is an open digital platform enabling the integration of OEM data across the marine, power, and energy industries.

Rolls-Royce develops an autonomous machinery control system that will enable naval vessels to conduct long endurance tasks without the need of full human interaction, aiming to the future of unmanned vessels and less human errors.

In line with a growing smart technology trend and as shipping is struggling to keep costs down in order to maintain its competitiveness, as well as to minimize human error to improve its safety record, autonomous ships provide an attractive trend.
