LNG Bunkering (Liquefied Natural Gas)

LNG bunkering is the process of delivering inbound LNG to a ship. Many international and national organizations have enacted legislation to encourage the use of marine fuel, which has aided in the development of the worldwide LNG refueling sector. LNG, as opposed to traditional fuels such as marine petrol gasoline and marine diesel, is gaining […]

Sailing towards sustainability: Ethanol bunkering’s role in the green energy revolution

Introduction Ethanol bunkering: Understanding the basics and its role in the energy industry Providing and transporting ethanol to marine vessels for use as fuel is referred to as “Ethanol Bunkering.” The fermentation and distillation of plant resources like corn, sugarcane or wheat results in ethanol which is a renewable biofuel. In order to make ethanol […]

Ammonia- a potential marine fuel

Introduction Ammonia Bunkering: Understanding the Basics Ammonia (chemical formula: NH3) is a compound composed of one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. It is a colorless gas with a strong, pungent odor. Ammonia is highly soluble in water and forms a strongly alkaline solution, often referred to as ammonium hydroxide. The marine industry is […]

Biofuels: a sustainable solution for a green energy future

I. Abstract This article examines the potential of biofuels as a sustainable solution to meeting growing energy demands while reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. Biofuels derived from organic matter such as plants and waste biomass can replace fossil fuels and are attracting a great deal of attention as renewable energy sources. This article […]

The rise of alternative fuels in the shipping industry: LNG

An excellent transition fuel on the road to producing clean energy is liquefied natural gas (LNG). The fact that it is reliable and already far cleaner than other fossil fuels make it an excellent companion for variable renewable energy sources. The future appears even cleaner with an LNG infrastructure in place since you will be […]

Feasibility of hydrogen as an alternative fuel in bunkering

Introduction In order to ensure the energy supply and reduce the environmental impact of the most advanced non-renewable energy sources, there is an urgent need for scalable, sustainable energy sources with high energy densities. According to the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), the transportation industry must decarbonize as it is responsible for around one-fourth […]

Methanol Bunkering & Its Future

Methanol (CH3OH): Methanol (also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol) is an organic chemical and the simplest aliphatic alcohol with the formula CH3OH (methyl group attached to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH). At atmospheric pressure, methanol is a liquid. Methanol Types: The two types of methanol are fossil and renewable, respectively. Coal […]
