The alternate fuel space is heating up with many options and variants cropping up under a myriad of colours. Among these options, some are considered short term contenders while some are better bets for the long term.

In this 15+15 webinar Joshua Padeti, Senior Engineer from ABS' Houston Sustainability Center aims to provide clarity on the maturity status for the major contenders of alternative marine fuels. Options such as LNG, methanol, ammonia, biofuels, hydrogen etc. will be discussed and their variants green, blue, grey etc will be pitted against each other to estimate where the fuels are today and where they might be in the future.

  • What fuels are the current contenders?
  • How do fuel variants stack up against each other?
  • Which fuel options should we on the lookout for?

This 30-minute webinar begins at 12:00 UTC (See your time zone here)

 

15+15 weekly webinars are a 30-minute webinar which includes a 15-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
