Lloyd’s Register to host webinar to discuss methanol bunker fuel

Classification society Lloyd’s Register on Monday (22 May) announced it is hosting a webinar which will introduce its new methanol report that covers a variety of topics related to the use of methanol as a marine fuel for ships.

This will include current industrial methanol production, pricing, and the ramp-up of green and blue methanol production, plus competition from other fuels.

It will also cover the importance of safety considerations, supply, quality, carbon accounting and life cycle analysis of methanol. 

In the webinar titled ‘Fuel for thought – Is this methanol’s moment?’, a panel of industry experts will evaluate ship operator demand and interest, as well as looking at the economic drivers behind methanol. 

“We will discuss the availability of onboard technology, including methanol-fuelled marine engines, conversions, fuel cells, tanks, and other systems,” it said. 

The panel will also participate in a live Q&A session. 

This webinar introduces the first in the series of Fuel for thought reports and webinars that will cover a variety of topics related to the use of alternative marine fuels for ships.
