Site items in: Ammonia Bunker Fuel

Presentation

The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) conducted a first-of-a-kind ammonia transfer pilot aimed at simulating bunkering procedures at anchorage in the waters of Port Dampier, Pilbara in September 2024. This spotlight session will share key takeaways from this pilot, including safety procedures, operational protocols, emergency responses measures. The session will also discuss how such pilots can pave the way for adoption of ammonia as a marine fuel across the region.

Presentation

As a resource-constrained nation, Singapore needs to secure long-term supplies of low-carbon energy. Keppel Infrastructure is leading several decarbonization opportunities, including a pathfinder project for ammonia power generation and bunkering on Jurong Island. A series of challenges confronts Singapore as it seeks to secure fuel supplies, including price competitiveness and certification of incoming fuels.

Presentation

This presentation explores operational learnings from a key ammonia fuel trial undertaken by the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore – the sailing of the Fortescue Green Pioneer – as well as the establishment of the Maritime Energy Training Facility, which features a dual fuel marine engine simulator for training on the safe handling, bunkering and management of incidents.

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.
