EU launches support scheme for alternative fuels
Article

In the wake of the IMO’s decision to postpone adoption of a zero and near-zero fuels support framework, the European Commission has launched its own support scheme for sustainable aviation (SAF) and maritime (SMF) fuels. Strategic, targeted investments will be made to scale up EU-based production of renewable and low-carbon fuels, unlocking the fuel volumes required.

Ammonia-fueled iron ore carriers could feasibly be deployed on the South Africa-Europe iron ore trade route as soon as 2029, and scale toward full route decarbonisation by 2035. Saldanha Bay is currently home to South Africa’s primary iron-ore export terminal, and could develop into a marine ammonia fuel bunker hub with the right policy support levers and investment.

IMO: net-zero framework adoption postponed
Article

The outcome leaves the global shipping industry with a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, but – for now – no detailed pathway to reach those targets. The result also leaves a certainty gap, delaying critical investment in zero or near-zero (ZNZ) fuels and propulsion technologies. Despite the setback, work on finer details and mechanisms to be included in the framework continued this week in London.

Presentation

GenCell has developed a novel approach to decentralized green ammonia synthesis relying on intermittent renewable energy. We will present a summary of our experience to date developing a technology and device relying on electrochemical ammonia synthesis from water and air, operating at ambient conditions and suggesting a sustainable and clean alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process.
