Looking for the latest information about solutions to reduce shipping emissions? Curious about the scalability and sustainability of new marine fuels and technologies?
The Future Fuels and Technology Online Information Hub (https://futurefuels.imo.org/) has been updated with fresh data and global insights on maritime decarbonisation.
The revamped site now offers a more streamlined, user-friendly design and integrates live data feeds from over 22 providers. Access to the data is free of charge via the website.
Available data covers a wide range of topics, such as:
- Shipbuilding industry trends: Information on alternative fuel-capable vessels by ship type and fuel type, plus low-carbon patenting trends (data supplied by the OECD Shipbuilding Committee).
- Ammonia as a marine fuel: Data on low-emission ammonia plants, terminals, and infrastructure under development worldwide (Ammonia Energy Association).
- Supply and uptake of alternative fuels: The latest developments on the global supply and uptake of new fuels across the shipping industry (DNV).
- Marine fuel prices: Global prices and comparative cost gaps between conventional and alternative fuels (S&P Global, Argus Media).
- Green shipping corridors: Initiatives announced to date (Mission Innovation).
The website also features news about IMO partnership projects on maritime climate action, including: GHG-SMART, GreenVoyage 2050 and Next-GEN, and details about key events, such as the upcoming Technical Seminar on Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS) Systems.
Data collaborations include, amongst others:
- Ammonia Energy Association
- Argus Media
- DNV's Alternative Fuels Insight
- École Nationale Supérieure Maritime
- IAPH
- Ipieca
- Korean Maritime Cooperation Center (KMC)
- Lloyd's Register
- Methanol Institute
- Mission Innovation
- OECD
- SEA-LNG
- SGMF
- International Windship Association
