LCA Modelling Establishing the Business Case for Low Carbon Methanol

Methanol is enjoying increasingly strong recognition from shipowners, classification societies, and OEMs as a fuel that can reduce pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships and provide a pathway towards sustainability. The rising interest reflects the readiness of the fuel, with regulation in place, vessel designs established, and engines available. It also demonstrates the desire of owners to act now on lowering emissions; many accept the need to make a start on this process rather than wait for longer-term options to become available. Interest is increasingly focusing on the pathway from conventional methanol, which has low tank-to-wake emissions, towards sources of renewable methanol which provide lower GHG equivalence on a well-to-wake basis. This webinar will provide the latest developments in the application of Methanol as a marine fuel, with a particular focus on a new White Paper developed by renewable methanol producer Liquid Wind which puts the well-to-wake GHG intensity of e-methanol into context. Chaired by Douglas Raitt, Global FOBAS Manager at Lloyd’s Register, the webinar will include contributions from Felix Jung, Sustainability Manager, Liquid Wind; Pieter 't Hart, Green Maritime Methanol Project; and Tim Chan, Assistant Director for Government and Public Affairs (Asia/Middle East), The Methanol Institute.
