Possible paths to shipping’s decarbonisation include a route using sustainable, net-zero drop-in fuels, XFuel’s Harry Jankola will demonstrate at the Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference in early December.
Jankola leads commercial development and partnerships at the Irish climate-tech startup company that develops, patents and deploys processes for producing low-carbon high-grade drop-in fuels that require zero modification to existing engines or infrastructure.
XFuel technologies include CLR (Chemical Liquid Refining), a process that refines impure waste and residues such as marine fuel sludge and tank sediment into affordable ISO-compliant MGO, and MECC (Mechanical Carbon Conversion), that processes solid biomass and oil waste into low-carbon drop-in transport fuels and biochar.
Jankola will be taking part in the Breaking Barriers: Expanding the Future Fuel Mix Beyond Conventional Pathways session, exploring more diverse and resilient paths to decarbonisation.
Among the other experts taking part will be Boudewijn Pragt, Economics and Transition Finance Manager at the Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Decarbonisation, and Victor Åkerlund, Chief Analytics and Sustainability Officer with the PowerCell Group.
The early afternoon session on the conference’s opening day will by moderated by Gavin Allwright, Secretary General of the International Windship Association.
The 2026 Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference is being held at the Empire Riverside Hotel in Hamburg from 8-10 December. Simply click here for more information on taking part.
