Hydrogen Deploying clean fuels such as hydrogen is critical if the shipping industry is to reach net zero by . Green hydrogen generated by using renewable energy such as wind or solar power to extract hydrogen from water molecules is emissionsfree. But there are some major challenges when deploying hydrogen the fuel must be stored at cryogenic temperatures of C F and crew must be trained how to handle it as the fuel is highly flammable. fuel that could transform shipping.

The company has ordered a total of methanolpowered ships to date. Green methanol is a lowcarbon fuel which can be produced from sustainable biomass or by using. Renewable electricity to split water into oxygen and hydrogen which is combined with carbon dioxide. Unlike hydrogen green methanol does not have to be stored under pressure or extreme cold and many ports already have infrastructure in place to store the fuel. But the process is complex CO must be captured out of the atmosphere technology which is still emerging expensive and as yet unproven.
