MAJOR maritime concerns have joined forces to assess the
technical, financial and environmental issues of converting existing vessels to
zero carbon fuels as part of a Maersk-led transition to a global zero carbon
fleet by 2050.
American Bureau of Shipping, Maersk, NYK, MAN
Energ Corporation and Total are joining forces
through the Maersk Centre for Zero Carbon Shipping.
The purpose of the centre is to assess conversion options
and "de-risk asset investments by analysing the emission reduction
potential as well as techno-economic opportunity of converting vessels
currently fueled by fossil-based fuels to zero or neutral carbon fuel
solutions".
Participating corporations will look at box ships, tankers
and bulkers and their potential conversion from conventional fuel to LNG, LPG,
ammonia or methanol as well as onboard carbon capture and storage.
The project is facilitated by the Maersk and funded by the
corporate partners, said the press release.
This project is one of the initiatives to realise the International
Maritime Organisation's (IMO) medium- to long-term target for reducing
greenhouse gases (GHG), and NYK will actively contribute.
