The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has found that emissions from a dual-fuel liquified petroleum gas (LPG) vessel saw a 20% reduction when using vegetable oil blended biofuel as opposed to very low sulphur fuel oil, says an article published on offshore-technology.
Pilot fuel for LPG propulsionGCMD has been undertaking a series of trials using different biofuel blends in maritime shipping to reduce CO₂ emissions.
The latest blend, used in the third of...
The world’s largest shipping companies are starting to update their fleets for a greener future. Maersk received the world’s first dual-fuel methanol container ship in July 2023, and dozens more container ships that can run on alternative fuels are currently on order, reports The Conversation.
GHG emissionsThe industry – responsible for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than Canada and Ireland combined – has reasons to act and to have some confidence in its...

The World Bank defines the blue economy as “the sustainable use of maritime resources for economic growth, jobs, and improved livelihoods while preserving the marine ecosystem’s health.” The aim is to strike a balance between conservation and resource extraction when developing marine-based economies. The blue economy can offer huge potential in the area of climate change mitigation and resilience, given the fact that marine habitats, such as mangroves, tidal...
