Wartsila solutions open route to decarbonisation for Poland’s first LNG-fuelled RoPax vessels

The technology group Wärtsilä has been contracted by Remontowa shipyard in Poland to supply engines, fuel storage and supply systems for three new RoPax vessels, the first LNG-fuelled RoPax vessels to be built for the Polish maritime sector. The ships will be operated by ferry companies Unity Line and Polferries. The contract with Wärtsilä was

Liner shipping is first sector to charter the course towards major energy transition

A successful and efficient transition to green energy requires an expanded IMO GHG Strategy. Container shipping and car carriers have joined forces in the World Shipping Council to call on the International Maritime Organization for swift and concrete regulation to accelerate the industry’s decarbonisation. 10 February 2022 Today, for the first time, an entire shipping

Mærsk  teams up to advise in defining  decarbonisation roadmap and strategy

To accelerate the maritime decarbonisation journey, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (the Center) is teaming up with Maersk Broker Advisory Services and McKinsey & Company to offer data-based advisory services on decarbonisation pathways. The service called ‘Fleet Decarbonisation Optimizer’ combines deep industry knowledge and techno- economic analytical capabilities across the three

[WEBINAR]Decarbonising Shipping: Issues and Challenges

COP26 Climate Summit held at Glasgow in November 2021 has brought the focus back on to environment and climate change issues in the world. Several countries have pledged to take steps to cut down the carbon emissions and tread on the path towards green transition with set targets for NetZero emissions. In the series of

Advanced atomic to power affordable production of green ammonia for shipping

Core Power, a leader in advanced nuclear energy technology for ocean transportation and heavy industry released a special report on the mass-production of zero-carbon fuels for shipping, using advanced nuclear technologies offshore. The production of green ammonia is a key component of the decarbonisation plans for international shipping. While the largest 17,000 ships are unlikely

Australia must shift from fossil fuels or risk more than 100,000 jobs

A failure to engage with the global shift towards decarbonisation is putting thousands of jobs in regional Queensland and Western Australia at risk, as global demand for coal and gas plummets. New research published by the Centre for Policy Development (CPD) estimates that between 100,000 and 300,000 Australian jobs in emissions-intensive industries – and mostly

Budget 2022 must focus on India’s new energy transition

India imports 80 percent of crude oil, and 54 percent of LNG representing ~38 percent of India’s energy consumption. For every 10 percent increase in crude oil price, there is an impact on India’s current account deficit by $10 billion, or negative 0.4 percent of GDP. Crude oil prices have increased by nearly 28 percent

DNV-led consortium to conduct ammonia bunkering safety study

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has awarded its ammonia bunkering safety study in Singapore to a DNV-led consortium aimed at accelerating the shipping industry’s decarbonisation efforts, the Centre said in a statement on Wednesday. “A precursor to the demonstration of ammonia bunkering in Singapore, the intent of this study is to define a

De-risking 2030 will help shipowners in 2050

Waiting until 2028, and then following the lead of others, is a very high-risk decarbonisation strategy. No single fuel and energy conversion technology is going to satisfy the requirements of every shipowner, so each must develop their own decarbonisation strategy and use 2030 targets to evaluate the solutions that could then take them through to

Hydrogen costs to fall over 95% by 2050

Investments to the tune of $10 trillion (Rs 744 lakh crore) in the hydrogen sector by 2050 will pull down the cost of the fuel and disrupt the energy sector, according to a new analysis. Hydrogen will be cheaper by 95 per cent by mid-century, according to the analyst group Rethink Energy. The impending hydrogen
