Description: This year's Outlook, Beyond the Horizon: Carbon Neutral Fuel Pathways and Transformational Technologies, explores the carbon neutral fuel pathways and the transformational technologies that will support the maritime industry’s challenging journey to 2050, including an updated fuel mix forecast, potential net zero scenarios and detailed analysis of the capacity of the maritime ecosystem to support decarbonization.
Additional info: Among the key takeaways in this year’s publication:
There is an active shift in the composition of the global fleet toward more sustainable energy sources, with about 50 percent of the current orderbook (in gross tonnage), featuring dual-fuel engines and a shift to a more diversified set of fuels, particularly LNG, methanol and ammonia, in the orderbook.
The fuel mix forecast for this year and through 2050 underscores a substantial and continuous transition in the maritime sector towards cleaner alternative fuels such as methanol, ammonia, and LNG. The market share of traditional fossil fuels is anticipated to decline to 15 percent by the year 2050. The utilization of methanol gradually rises to 42 percent by 2050. Utilization of ammonia is anticipated to increase by 33 percent by 2050. As regulatory pressures increase, the adoption of energy efficiency technologies and alternative fuels is also anticipated to increase.
In order to meet the 2040 IMO checkpoint, the annual greenhouse gas (GHG) total must be reduced by 70 percent and at least one-third of the tonnage will need to use alternative fuels.
Capacity at major shipyards is expected to moderately increase by about 5 percent until 2035.
Due to additional shipbuilding demand, new builders are anticipated to emerge from India, the Middle East, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Current repair yard capacity is expected to meet demand through 2027, however demand for retrofits will continue to increase through 2035, which will require additional repair yard capacity to support fuel conversions.
According to ABS’ GHG abatement cost methodology and current fuel prices, biofuels and blue fuels will have lower carbon abatement cost compared to others.
In terms of regulations, FuelEU Maritime requirements and similar requirements expected from the IMO introduce new complexities and will require stakeholders to consider how they can pool credits for compliance.
