A key element in decarbonising maritime trade is transitioning to a new source of power, yet this process presents several questions: What fuel to transition to? Is there one right answer or should the industry look at multi-fuel mix scenario? What are the required technology and infrastructure to enable their deployment? What are the business and safety implications?Finding an answer to these questions becomes even more difficult when considering the financial aspects and the limited availability of non-fossil-based fuels. Experts have suggested that halving shipping emissions between 2030-2050 will cost USD1.4-1.9 trillion, with a further USD350 billion needed this decade.Ammonia and hydrogen seem to be the long-term solution for the industry as they are both carbon neutral; by 2050 they are predicted to supply 60% of the market’s energy needs. While these are deemed as the fuels of the future, methanol and LNG present an alternative for the short-term. From the perspective of port equipment manufacturers, the industry witnesses growing production of electric and low carbon machinery.Hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, biofuels, LNG, or electrification...? Each alternative presents challenges and opportunities. As such, a holistic approach to decarbonisation is required, including a roadmap with measurable strategies, combined with scalability factors.
