Year: 2024 Language: English Author: American Bureau of Shipping & CE Delft Genre: Report Publisher: European Maritime Safety Agency Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 112 Description: The maritime industry is facing several substantive challenges, mostly driven by increasingly strict air emissions and climate legislation. Among the broad spectrum of technology and fuel solution pathways presently available to ship designers, builders, owners and operators – synthetic fuels or, more specifically, renewable e-fuels (to be referred as e-fuels in this study) – offer medium and long-term alternatives that can enter the market relatively quickly. On a Well-to-Tank basis, they also offer the potential to reduce the carbon output of their fleets to zero, or very close to it. Among the synthetic fuels, e-ammonia, e-hydrogen, e-diesel, e-methane and e-methanol are expected to see the largest uptake by the shipping industry. The first two have been extensively analysed in previous EMSA studies – ‘Update on Potential of Biofuels for Shipping’ (EMSA, 2022b) and ‘Potential of Hydrogen as Fuel for Shipping’ (EMSA, 2023) – so the focus of this study will be on the remaining three, namely e-diesel, e-methane and e-methanol.
