The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (MMMCZCS) on Thursday (26 March) released a set of information summaries on eight alternative maritime fuels to help the maritime industry navigate the uncertainty around fuel selection.
The ‘Alternative Maritime Fuel Information Sheets’ provide a snapshot overview of the risks and opportunities associated with e-ammonia, blue ammonia, e-methanol, bio-methanol, e-methane, bio-methane, e-diesel, and biodiesel.
The shared information is based on a collation of analysis and insights from several sources, including previous MMMCZCS research projects and insights from interviews we conducted with industry experts at our partner organizations.
Readers can use these fuel snapshots to identify key aspects that deserve close attention when evaluating and comparing alternative fuels for future fleet fueling strategies.
Each information summary is organized into four main subject areas that support evaluation across the eight fuel pathways:
- Sustainability considerations
- Fuel availability potential
- Maritime uptake
- Commercial considerations
Note: The ‘Alternative Maritime Fuel Information Sheets’ can be found here.
