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 […]
Decarbonization of Marine Fuels—The Future of Shipping
Decarbonization refers to the systematic reduction or complete elimination of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the atmosphere. The shipping industry’s reliance on fossil fuels, particularly heavy oil or bunker fuels, makes it one of the world’s most carbon-intensive industries. Bunker fuel is a by-product of crude oil refining and contains […]
