Early collaboration on marine nitrogen systems can optimise methanol-fuelled vessel design and deliver substantial benefits, the 2026 Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference will be told in December.
Jarle Opheim, Sales Manager with Air Products, the world’s largest supplier of marine nitrogen generation systems and a conference Sponsor, will highlight how optimal design reduces equipment, energy, maintenance and lifecycle costs, while improving operational reliability and supporting safe fuel operation.
He will be speaking in the Methanol in Practice: Operational Insights from Ship to Shore session on the second day of the Hamburg conference, which will examine the lessons learned as methanol gains increasing traction as a viable alternative fuel.
Opheim’s insights and expertise has been gained from extensive market analysis of alternative fuelled ship newbuilding and retrofit projects, involving daily interaction with shipyards, ship owners, and fuel and engine system suppliers.
With the session moderated by conference co-Chair Dr. Markus Münz, Managing Director of VDMA Large Engines, Opheim will be joined by Kristian Mogensen, a Senior Technical Advisor at Everllence, Dave Lee, Executive Director at Oregon-based e1 Marine, and Sönke Diesener, Senior Policy Officer at NABU.
