摘要:
As green shipping corridors become more deeply integrated and implemented,and as zero-emission shipping technologies,standards,infrastructure,and business models rapidly mature,there will be an expanded market demand for green alternative fuels such as methanol,ammonia,and hydrogen.
Regarding green alternative fuel choices,by the end of 2022 only six shipping corridors had identified priority *** the end of 2023,this number further increased to *** and ammonia are emerging as two of the most popular fuels and are considered scalable main options for medium and large *** corridors plan to introduce methanol,hydrogen,or electricity between 2024 and 2030,with ammonia introduction planned between 2027 and 2030.
The choice of fuel within shipping corridors correlates with the predominant type of *** shipping corridors opt for a single fuel *** carrier corridors primarily focus on ammonia fuel,ferry corridors favor methanol,small vessel corridors lean towards hydrogen or electricity,and container corridors often choose multiple fuel approaches,aiming to consider all solutions that meet specific emission reduction ***,data indicates an openness to transitional fuels such as biofuels or blue hydrogen.
According to the latest statistics from the Methanol Institute(MI),the global green methanol production capacity is expected to reach approximately 20 million tons by ***,there are few long-term stable agreements signed between the supply and demand sides of green methanol *** uncertainty surrounding the development of chemical projects may further impact the progress of these initiatives,potentially making it challenging to achieve the construction of a 20 million tons production capacity on *** could significantly differ from the actual demand in 2030.
Ammonia as a shipping fuel is anticipated to achieve zero or near-zero emissions,a feature that makes it particularly suitable for tran
