Abstract

The maritime industry faces challenges in adopting new technologies and operational practices to comply with increasingly strict international, national, and local regulations aimed at reducing Sulfur Oxides (SOx), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Particulate Matter (PM), Carbon and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from ships. The regulations introduced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the European Union, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, and others are designed to reduce these emissions from ships. Many approaches are being considered to reduce carbon emissions in shipping. The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) publication Setting the Course to Low Carbon Shipping: Pathways to Sustainable Shipping, referred to as ‘Outlook II’ in this document, has categorized the available maritime fuel options for decarbonization. Through a series of sustainability whitepaper publications, ABS focuses on individually detailing certain decarbonization fuel options and technologies. This whitepaper provides information for the consideration of methanol as a marine fuel.
