Report assesses different fuel lifecycle methodologies


The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping has conducted a qualitative assessment of seven existing fuel lifecycle methodologies to learn more about the landscape and harmonization opportunities. According to the report, the regulatory landscape surrounding fuels is complex, with different regions of the world adopting different fuel lifecycle methodologies for determining the climate impacts of alternative fuels.


These differences yield uncertainty about the actual Greenhouse Gas savings from alternative fuels and may impact crucial decisions as the industry continues to decarbonize. However, harmonizing existing and upcoming fuel lifecycle methodologies into a globally accepted standard for determining climate impact will provide increased certainty and enable ambitious decision-making.


The report selected methodologies to reflect regional coverage and the important role they play in regulation and policy. The seven analyzed methodologies were:


- Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials - Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation - Renewable Energy Directive II


- Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation


- RenovaBio


- Greenhouse Gas, Regulated Emissions and Energy in Transport


- JEC Well-to-Wheel study

New Report: ‘Testing Times’- The vital role of ship fuel oil assessment and quantity verification


in an uncertain era Lloyd’s Register’s new report, ‘Testing Times – The vital role of ship fuel oil assessment and quantity verification in an uncertain era’, estimates that more than one million metric tons of off-specification or non-compliant fuels are detected each year, costing ship operators between $27,000-$50,000 per incident.


Published in collaboration with marine innovation consultancy Thetius, the report highlights why the introduction of biofuel oils, growing prevalence of bunker licensing schemes along with upcoming changes to ISO standards for marine grade fuels, make it more vital than ever for ship operators receive the correct advice and oversight on bunker procurement and refuelling operations.
