Shipowners see ammonia and also hydrogen as one of the most eye-catching gas choices for the long-term, according to an ABDOMINAL MUSCLE study. Nearly 60 percent of participants claimed they watched hydrogen and also ammonia as one of the most eye-catching gas selections in the lasting. However, the study additionally showed that almost 2 thirds of proprietors presently have no decarbonization technique in position.
The study covered shipowners and also drivers signing up for an ABDOMINAL MUSCLE webinar, Pathways to Sustainable Shipping.
When asked which gas is more than likely to be embraced in the close to term, 70 percent picked gas in the light gas path, that includes LNG in the short-term and also hydrogen as a future remedy.
“It is clear that the industry views both hydrogen and ammonia as the long-term destination but sees LNG as having a big role to play in addressing the regulatory challenge immediately in front of us,” claimed Georgios Plevrakis, ABDOMINALGlobal Sustainability Director “These results are in line with the findings in our recently released Low Carbon Shipping Outlook. Based on the fuel pathways that we have identified and can shape the future of marine propulsion, hydrogen and ammonia are solutions that are expected to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in the long term. LNG, as the most mature of the alternative fuel solutions, can pave the way to a less carbon intensive maritime industry.”
“This is at the heart of the ABS approach and the solutions we offer around alternative fuels,” claimedPlevrakis “We are working through our network of Sustainability Centers with global clients to define solutions to meet regulatory and market demands related to Green House Gas reduction.”
GHG RANKINGS
A different study of market leaders complying with an ABDOMINAL MUSCLE Webinar on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Ratings exposed the large bulk are regularly utilizing the scores in their service choice making. Around 80 percent concurred or highly concurred that GHG scores were a vital consider their service choice making. And almost fifty percent claimed they had actually currently started executing choices for GHG score enhancement.
“As shipowners and operators look to improve their environmental ratings to both maintain and attract potential charters, they face complex decisions on how best to identify, report and reduce GHG emissions,” claimed Lefteris Karaminas, ABDOMINALGlobal Sustainability Manager “A key takeaway from the webinar is that owners taking advantage of accelerated GHG rating improvement options like the non-permanent Engine Power Limitation (EPL) are finding the benefits only temporary, as other vessels in the peer group take on improvements or new more efficient vessels enter the peer group. It will be necessary to consider alternative options, including combinations, in order to remain competitive and increase their ratings in the long term.”
