New policy measures set out by the United Nations-led agency the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) lay the groundwork for a transition to zero-emission fuels but may lack the incentives needed to make e-fuels like green ammonia and e-methanol commercially viable in the near term. That is according to independent not-for-profit foundation the Global Maritime Forum, which warned that the shipping industry risks delayed adoption of scalable zero-emission fuels unless stronger policy and investment signals are put in place. “The IMO’s new framework is an historic step forward, but unless e-fuels become competitive early on there is a risk that the sector will run into bottlenecks as … decarbonisation efforts scale up,” said Jesse Fahnestock, Director of Decarbonisation at the Forum. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider… Read More »Marine e-fuels policies don’t go far enough, says maritime forum | Methanol & e-fuels
