Ammonia marine fuel cheapest option from late 2030s, dual-fuel vessels lowest-risk

Julian Atchison May 30, 2025

Based on their analysis, UMAS and the University College of London conclude that scalable e-fuels have the highest potential to meet shipping’s new decarbonization targets, but that the next decade is critical to ensure supply chains are ready to supply these fuels. Ammonia-LNG dual-fuel vessels represent the lowest-risk, cheapest decarbonization option to the mid 2030s.

UK Coastguard, Department of Transport: preparing for ammonia-fueled vessels

Julian Atchison April 25, 2025

The UK’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency has set out timelines and processes for operators of ammonia-fueled vessels to engage with authorities in preparation for operations in UK waters. Ammonia fuel is included in the Department of Transport’s first-ever Maritime Decarbonisation Strategy, with as much as 70% of the forecast fuel mix being ammonia by 2050.

MEPC 83: global shipping gets its first-ever emissions pricing mechanism

Julian Atchison April 23, 2025

The regulations send a clear signal to industry – business as usual operations will become significantly more expensive, and zero or near-zero (ZNZ) technologies and fuels represent one of the better opportunities to make deep emissions cuts. Following the historic vote at the IMO, we explore critical timelines for the new regulations, compliance thresholds, mechanisms for vessels to comply, and uncertainties that remain.
