Introduction
The 2023 GHG Strategy of the IMO set ambitious targets – a 40% cut in carbon intensity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. The organization underlined that the achievement of these targets could be finalized only with the introduction of new fuels, zero or near-zero GHG emission fuel.
The strategy includes lifecycle GHG intensity for marine fuels. It considers emissions from the ‘cradle to the grave stage’, from the time of production to the time of burning, and encourages a...

Ammonia (NH3) is emerging as a potential marine fuel due to its zero carbon dioxide emissions when combusted.
“Green Ammonia”, the environmentally friendly version, which is produced using renewable energy sources, is the sustainable alternative to conventional ammonia. This provides ship owners with a fuel option that could have no well-to-wake CO2 emissions, which will assist in meeting IMO’s 2050 emissions reduction targets.

The maritime sector acts as a lifeline of the world economy in terms of trade and transportation. In recent years, digitisation, automation, and IOT have made considerable changes to improve efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
The maritime industry is undergoing drastic change to reduce its environmental impact, and hence, many decarbonisation efforts have been introduced in recent years.
Decarbonization is the key to a sustainable future for the maritime industry, and...
In recent years, methanol has gained attention as a sustainable maritime fuel. Its liquid form, production versatility from renewable sources, and potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions make it a compelling alternative to Fossil fuels for powering Ships.
This article explores methanol’s viability, benefits, challenges, and integration into global maritime operations.
