David Surplus OBE, BSc, CEng, MIMarEST joins speaker line-up considering latest developments in methanol powered vessels..
Methanol is one of the most promising alternative shipping fuels due to its potential to significantly reduce ships’ emissions, decrease in cost over time, and achieve the scale of production needed to decarbonise the sector.
Session 5 of this year’s Propulsion and Future Fuels Conference, being held in Hamburg from 25-27 November, will consider the latest developments in methanol powered vessels, looking at availability, production, solutions and findings.
Speakers in the session include David Surplus OBE, BSc, CEng, MIMarEST. David is a Chartered Marine Engineer and former Lloyd’s Register Surveyor who moved from offshore oil and gas into renewables thirty-three years ago to form the B9 Energy group of companies.
B9 Energy has developed ten onshore wind farms, Northern Ireland’s largest AD plant, six landfill gas projects, commercial and domestic solar PV, and hydrogen-based Power-to-X projects. The company is now focussed on GW scale e-methanol synthesis for fuelling the ro-ro freight ferry sector.
