Predictions for 2025: The challenge of future fuels

As the maritime industry navigates toward a more sustainable future, the adoption of alternative fuels like ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen is gaining momentum. These fuels represent a significant shift from traditional marine energy sources, promising to decarbonise operations and align with evolving environmental regulations. However, they also bring a host of challenges for ship designs and retrofits, from safety and storage considerations to infrastructure and operational implications.
