Are ammonia-fuelled ships a viable alternative option for greener maritime operations?

Given the significant impact of maritime operations on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a range of alternative fuel options are being considered, including ammonia-fuelled ships. Toby Clark considers the pros and cons of using ammonia as fuel for shipping operations, which nevertheless carries recognised safety risks.

Green shoots: How to get Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) accreditation

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Society for the Environment receiving Chartership. Since then, the Society has overseen more than 8,500 professionals receiving professional qualifications such as Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) – also through the Energy Institute. As environmental issues have flowed into mainstream business practice, the Society has an ever more important role to play and its clientele are changing, writes New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple.

Premium energy basins provide oil and gas as well as upstream decarbonisation opportunities

A select few basins hold the potential for upstream players to decarbonise while continuing to meet oil and gas demand, reports Rystad Energy. However, the race to decarbonise hinges on three crucial factors: accelerating investment, overcoming geographical challenges and modifying existing infrastructure. These changes are essential for unlocking the full potential of these basins and for upstream players to achieve their decarbonisation targets.

How to decarbonise shipping: why cross-sector collaboration is important

The decarbonisation of international shipping will require global and regional cooperation and work to bring together often segregated stakeholders across the energy and shipping value chains. Here, Dr Carlo Raucci, Director, Sustainable Fuels and Strategy, at the Lloyd’s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub, outlines ways in which the decarbonisation picture is shaping up around Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region, as well as the lessons that can be learnt from regional initiatives like the Silk Alliance.

Real possibilities for synthetic e-fuels

Synthetic or e-fuels will be one of the key enablers of the energy transition away from fossil fuels towards more sustainable alternatives. However, identifying cost-effective pathways from legacy fossil fuels into low-carbon alternatives is proving to be quite a challenge for the incumbent energy players. Nnamdi Anyadike reports.
