Future Fuels Updates #1 " Global Perspectives – Focus on Methanol and Onboard Carbon Capture"

Seminar As in previous years, we are launching a new seminar series to explore the current status and trends in future fuels for maritime applications.

While technological advancements continue to progress, we observe that the supply chain for green alternative fuels is still developing at a slower pace. This makes it all the more important to maintain a strong focus on energy efficiency while closely monitoring updates in future fuel solutions.

Over three independent seminar days, we will guide you through key developments and insights.

Update #1 "Global Perspectives – Focus on Methanol and Onboard Carbon Capture"

The EU ETS for maritime has entered into force, and the IMO is working intensively to update its rules and guidelines.
What’s happening globally, and how will this shape vessel design and fleet strategies?

Across the maritime sector, several full-scale and demonstration projects are making headway — including methanol-powered vessels preparing for sea trials in our region. At the same time, onboard carbon capture is moving from concept to installation, offering new pathways to decarbonization.
Did you know that captured CO₂ can even be used in the production of synthetic methanol?
