ExxonMobil Marine’s Post

🕓🙌🏼 Time to delve into #biofuels during the #ArgusGreenMarineFuels! EWABA's Dáša Mamrillová participating in a very interesting panel on the battle between sectors and regions for biofuels along with our member BIO OIL - from waste to energy | Peninsula | TotalEnergies | Solutions for Our Climate (기후솔루션). "Lack of clarity in maritime is currently hindering the uptake of more biofuels. Setting a maritime fuel standard would be key to supply more volumes to the shipping sector", according to our Government Affairs Director. #shippingfuels #greenfuels #biodiesel #greenshipping #FuelEU #CII #IMO #REDIII Argus Media

Importance of #renewablefuels in #maritime 🛳️🚢 will grow significantly in the upcoming years and the availability of sustainable feedstock will be crucial 🌿🛢️

Why biofuels must be on the EU’s agenda? 🚚 🌰 Read more on Politico.   https://lnkd.in/ex-ps8iy   To outline what the biofuels industry needs in the next European Commission mandate, POLITICO Europe outlined the 3 key points:   1️⃣ A consistent strategy for biofuels and the bioeconomy, providing a long-term perspective for farmers and producers.   2️⃣ Shift the demand from fossil diesel towards renewable biodiesel as legacy and new transport fleets will continue to use liquid fuels up until 2050.   3️⃣ Protect the EU biodiesel industry from unfair competition and fraud from outside the bloc.   #biodiesel #netzero #transport #emissions #EUpolicy #EUtrade

From climate preservation to economic independence, the development and widespread use of biofuels within the EU can support what matters to its citizens – but not without the support of policymakers. EBB European Biodiesel Board’s manifesto outlines how the next EU Commission can help:   [1] Recognize the importance of crop-based biodiesel in a “Protein Strategy,” providing a long-term perspective for farmers and producers.   [2] Shift the demand from fossil diesel toward renewable biodiesel as legacy and new transport fleets will continue to use liquid fuels through 2050.   [3] Protect the EU biodiesel industry from unfair competition and fraud from outside the bloc.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/eRMsc27g #biodiesel #netzero  #transport #EUtrade #ad

Will alternative fuels be available and scalable for maritime ?

𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮'𝙨 𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨? 🚢 🌐 🍃 This is the critical question question the maritime sector is grappling with as the world accelerates its push for net-zero emissions. A recent Argus Media report highlights #methanol 💧 as one of the most promising short- to medium-term transition fuels for shipping. 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙡? 🟢 A viable transition fuel: As LNG and biofuels face limitations, methanol presents a compelling alternative. It sidesteps key challenges like feedstock competition and scalability issues that hinder biofuels. 🟣 Growing adoption: The Argus database tracks around 250 methanol-capable vessels on order through 2028. This indicates a shift in industry trends and a projected demand of ~16 million tonnes of methanol annually by 2028. ⚪ Infrastructure & safety: Unlike ammonia, which faces significant safety and bunkering hurdles, methanol is a safer, more immediately deployable solution that is gaining momentum in shipbuilding.   𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜? Ultimately, we cannot view the maritime sector in isolation from the broader #energytransition. The industry continues to face uncertainty. To accelerate the transition, clearer pathways for implementation and stronger mechanisms ⚙️ to support #alternativefuel uptake are needed. The 2025 deadline for the introduction of International Maritime Organization 2050 implementation mechanisms will be a critical milestone, providing the clarity needed to steer the industry in the right direction. As we await these developments, it’s clear that methanol can play a key role in the transition to sustainable shipping. At the Methanol Institute, we’re committed to advancing methanol as a key 🔑 fuel for the future of shipping. With the right support, innovation, and investment, methanol can help the shipping industry meet its decarbonisation goals.

Albion Marine completed a major feasibility study for the largest Canadian client on #conversion for the use of #biofuels. ABS issued a bulletin with similar recommendations. As per ABS, with new regulations aimed at reducing air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs), there is increased interest in biofuels. Zero and low carbon fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, and biofuels with negligible sulfur can lower particulate matter, gaseous and carbon emissions. MARPOL Annex VI has dealt with the use of biofuels by fuel oil quality regulations under Regulation 18.3.2, while the ISO standard 8217 “Petroleum products – Fuels (class F) – Specifications of marine fuels” was modified in 2017 to widen tolerance for use of biofuels in existing and new fuel oil grades.

Over the transition, on both a “book&claim” and “mass balance” basis, this represents one of the main touch points in increasing availability and controlling costs, unlocking exponential value. Let’s get behind this important initiative and achieve more, faster! #bookandclaim #massbalance #decarbonise #sustainability #valueinvesting #impactinvesting #renewables #biogenic #EU #DGCLIMA

Biofuels energy content is an important parameter for ship operators, read this article to understand why!

Methanol Institute and SEA-LNG unite against EU trade barriers to biomethane and biomethanol fuels Both parties expressed their deep concerns following recent announcement by European Commission impacting the trade of biomethane and biomethane-based biofuels such as biomethanol bunker fuel. https://lnkd.in/gTNH9ZWT #bunkers #bunkering #maritime #shipping #marinefuel #marinefuels #bunkerindustry #bunkerfuel #imo2030 #imo2050 #sustainable #decarbonisation #decarbonization #marine #emissions #zeroemission #zeroemissions #alternativefuel #alternativefuels #maritimenews #maritimeindustry #maritimetransport #maritimesector  #maritimeservices #shippingnews #shippingindustry #shipsandshipping #shippingworldwide #biofuel #biofuels #europe
