Methanol has attracted considerable attention as an alternative ship fuel since 2021. The adoption of the IMO interim guidelines for ships using methyl or ethyl alcohol as fuel (MSC.1/Circ.1621) has been an enabler for shipowners ordering methanol-fuelled ships. Together with the International Maritime Organization’s IGF Code for ships using low-flashpoint fuels and DNV’s mandatory class rules for methanol-powered ships, specifically the LFL FUELLED and Methanol Ready class notations, a comprehensive regulatory framework for the use of methanol as ship fuel is now available to DNV customers. #electrolysis #electrolyzer #electrolyser #pem #soec #aem #cathode #anode #h2 #oxygen #seawater #desalination #reverseosmosis #greenelectricity #water #energy #renewableenergy #renewablehydrogen #greenhydrogen #idrogenoverde #hydrogènevert #hydrogenenergy #hydrogenstrategy #hidrogenioverde #hidrogenoverde #hidrógeno #hidrogenio #wasserstoffwirtschaft #wasserstoff #wasserwirtschaft #solarenergy #bluehydrogen #pinkhydrogen #greenhydrogen #h2lligence #h2intelligence #canaldesuez #hydrogen_intelligence #hydrogenintelligence #hydrogènevert #hydrogène #windenergie #hydrogenenergy #hydrogenfuel #hidrogenoverde #hidrógeno #hidrogenioverde #idrogenoverde #idrogeno #hidrojen #windpower #windenergy #h2lligence #hydrogen_intelligence #hydrogenintelligence #h2intelligence #intelligence #africabusiness #sustainabledevelopment #afriquedusud #afriquedelouest #emethanol #greenmethanol #greenshipping #hydrogenenergy #h2 #h2industry #hydrogenindustry #hydrogen_intelligence #h2lligence #startup #intelligence Osama Fawzy Georgy HENEIN, MBA

A growing order book for methanol-fuelled ships shows that the shipping industry sees methanol as a promising alternative fuel.    With a regulatory framework now in place, shipowners who decided to rely on methanol as an alternative fuel can confidently plan for methanol propulsion. Green methanol production today is limited, but companies are willing to invest as demand grows. Plans for production facilities exist, and building a global green methanol bunkering infrastructure is feasible pending fuel specifications.   Read our latest article to learn how DNV’s longstanding methanol know-how and broad range of services support methanol projects.  

An interesting article from DNV and Christos Chryssakis. MAN ES has a range of methanol and methanol ready engines in our portfolio and look forward to hearing from anyone considering methanol fuel for their vessels. #methanol #maritime #FutureInTheMaking

As the shipping industry ponders its options to reach net zero by 2050, methanol as a marine fuel is attracting attention due to the relatively mature and easy-to-adapt technology that is needed and an evolved regulatory framework in place. 

With such a heavy focus on carbon (and other gas) emissions in the last few decades and over 15 - 20% of all carbon emissions coming from the transportation industry alone in Australia, it's great the see companies like Fuelre4m developing technologies to tackle fuel efficiency globally. Their technology has helped save over 7,160,000 litres of fuel and saved almost 19,200 tonnes of Carbon this year! The Re4mx Fueloil helps to deliver a 15%-20% lower fuel consumption while also delivering a substantial (40-80%) reduction in emissions and Fuelre4m additives can be used in various fuel types. Not only usable in the transportation industry, the Fuelre4m solutions can help save fuel in the Mining and Power Generation industries! Best of all, the fuel savings ultimately pay for the cost of the product!! I look forward to seeing this technology roll out here in Australia so that large consumers of fuel can not only reduce emissions, but also potentially claim carbon credits from the ACCU (Australia Carbon Credit Unit) scheme. #winwin Well done to Rob Mortimer and the team for driving this innovation. If you or your company are large fuel consumers, and want to get involved in a trial of Re4mx in Australia, please get in touch! #carbonreduction #fuelefficiency #fuelre4m

Uncertainty about how to deal with decarbonisation on ships is a problem for shipping companies' strategies and decision-making. Technologies are not mature enough, but legislation and taxes are being tightened on emissions. Biodiesel, synthetic diesel, biomethane, electronic methane, methanol (biological and synthetic) or synthetic ammonia appear on the horizon as promising alternatives to marine diesel. How can these fuel alternatives be integrated onboard? Which technologies are more reliable for operational profiles or type of fleet? Will the supply chain be ready? What about safety matters onboard? Seaplace counts with a team of experts that can help you! #decarbonization #ships #marinefuels
