Mapping the adoption process for new drop-in fuels

Abstract

To support the testing and broader uptake of low-emissions drop-in fuels, this paper provides an overview of the processes that may be required for a new drop-in fuel to be evaluated and potentially adopted by the market. While this paper outlines a single, overarching adoption process, real-world pathways often diverge, and not all stakeholders are involved at every stage. The sequence, duration, and level of engagement vary depending on the fuel, vessel, engine configuration, and the operational experience of the parties involved.
