Methanol bunkering: from niche trials to global maritime decarbonisation pathway

Methanol is rapidly emerging as one of the most promising low-carbon marine fuels of the next two decades. Driven by tightening climate regulations, a surge in dual-fuel ship orders and aggressive investment in green methanol production – particularly in China – the industry is approaching a pivotal moment, reports Energy Institute Asia-Pacific (APAC) Managing Director Peter Godfrey FEI. This article unpacks the state of methanol bunkering today, the carbon equation behind fossil versus green methanol, the infrastructure bottleneck, and the geopolitical dynamics behind the rapid rise of methanol-fuelled shipping.

After 25 years, UK offshore wind has overtaken gas to become the main source of electricity

Since the first offshore wind farm was commissioned in December 2000 in Blyth Harbour, off the coast of Northumberland, UK offshore wind has overtaken the amount of electricity generated from domestically produced gas – generating around 10% more power since 2024, according to analysis by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU). As a result, it has reduced UK spending on imported fuels by at least £30bn to date.
