30MAY2019 - NEWS - Green Maritime Methanol project chooses ships for fuel trial

Green Maritime Methanol, a consortium of Dutch shipping providers and professional bodies, has selected nine ships to participate in its research on methanol as a shipping fuel. As the shipping industry works towards meeting ambitious maritime CO2 reduction targets set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), development of low emission and environmentally friendly marine fuels has become a growing priority. The Green Maritime Methanol consortium, whose partners include the Ports of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the Royal Netherlands Naval Institute and the IMO’s Maritime Knowledge Centre, aims to evaluate the relative efficacy and cost differentials of renewable methanol fuel in comparison with low sulphur marine diesel.
