IMRB Rolls Out US$5b Proposal for Maritime Decarbonization

  • Global shipping industry calls on Governments to take forward US$ 5 billion proposal for maritime decarbonization.
  • The R&D programme would be managed through a non-governmental research and development organisation – IMRB.
  • The co-sponsors emphasize that for the proposal to work, the R&D contributions need to be mandatory via an IMO regulation.
  • All shipping companies globally contribute in a fair and equitable manner, and the funds will be generated to achieve the programme’s objectives.

DNV GL Analyses The Feasibility of Biofuel Use in Shipping

  • As biofuel is turning out to be zero carbon solution for shipping, DNV GL does some reality check.
  • Upon analysis, it is revealed that biofuels have higher NOx emissions compared to fossil fuels.
  • So to inculcate the use of biofuel shipowners should do emission tests in order to understand their engine capability with biofuel.
  • Several other technical problems like corrosion, microbial growth, low temperature etc. need to be checked for biofuels

According to a Gard article, biofuels may not...

Maersk Collaborating With Industry Heavyweights To Test Zero Carbon Fuels

According to a Loadstar article, Maersk is teaming up with industry peers and customers in its quest to find a zero-carbon fuel to power its vessels to be built by 2030.

Testing fuels for sustainable shipping

So far alcohol, biomethane and ammonia have been identified as the best positioned fuels to reach that ‘holy grail’. Maersk, together with shipping line Wallenius Wilhelmsen, Copenhagen University and customers BMW, H&M, Levi Strauss and Marks & Spencer, have formed the LEO Coalition working...

Zero Carbon Fuels Need Carbon Levy for a Level Playing Field, Says Shell

In a  major development, the Anglo-Dutch oil major Shell has called for a level playing field to be created through the maritime regulatory authorities that will see alternatives to fossil fuels compete on an equal basis with their carbon-based counterparts, says an article published in Seatrade Maritime News.

Zero Carbon Policy Crucial

Speaking at the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s Symposium on IMO 2020 and Alternative Fuels at the regulator’s offices in London Dr Alexandra...
