Unfortunately due to the global impact of COVID-19 and the international travel restrictions a lot of conferences and exhibitions have been cancelled or postponed. However, we remain optimistic and hope that we get the chance to meet up again soon!

‘Green Maritime Methanol 1.0’ project completed
The ‘Green Maritime Methanol 1.0’ project has successfully concluded its first phase. A Dutch consortium led by TNO, and involving 30 organisations including MARIN, was focusing on demand for the clean transport of goods and the possibilities of using methanol.
Methanol is considered to be a promising option for the short to medium term. From the current range of new alternative fuels and energy carriers for shipping, such as methanol, hydrogen, biofuels and battery-electric systems there is still significant uncertainty about which ones are the best options for the short and longer term, and which are the most suitable for different shipping segments. Solutions for shipping segments in the short term should contribute to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, but they also need to be compliant with regulations on air pollutants such as the 2020 Global Sulphur Cap and NOx Emission regulations.
The following topics considering the application of methanol as an energy carrier were addressed within the first phase of the study:
Overall technical and operational requirements: • Investigation of different options for applying methanol in a ship engine,
• Safe storage and handling of methanol on board, and • Bunkering safety and operations
Economic and environmental viability: • Overall market potential of the application of methanol, • Investigation of different production and supply chain routes, and • Effect of different production routes on emissions
Translation of these overall results into different shipping markets: • Detailed ship design based on the specific technical layout and operational profile for different vessel types, and
• Business Case for applying methanol for these different vessels 4 report
The follow-up project GMM2.0 started in August. For more information read the publications on
