Economic value of methanol for shipping under fuelEU maritime and EU ETS
To evaluate the economic viability of bio-methanol and e-methanol as sustainable marine fuels within the regulatory frameworks of FuelEU Maritime and the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The report provides an analysis of compliance pathways and the economic incentives for adopting these fuels compared to fossil fuels such as VLSFO, emphasizing the penalties for non-compliance. The findings support the potential of these regulations to facilitate a transition to sustainable fuels by creating a stable investment environment for fuel producers and encouraging adoption by shipping operators.
Will renewable electricity availability limit e-fuels in the maritime industry?
To introduce the current status and limitations of technological development of renewable electricity derived from naturally replenished sources, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, or geothermal energy, to reduce GHG emissions in international shipping and, based on this, briefly describe the project production and demand regarding e-fuels.
Bio-Ethanol as an alternative fuel for vessels
