Fuelling Tomorrow: Opportunities and Innovations in Maritime Energy

Join industry leaders as we explore the transformative developments in maritime energy. Our speakers will discuss the promising role of green fuels such as methanol as a sustainable marine fuel. Attendees will learn about methanol’s benefits, including lower emissions and its compatibility with existing engines. Industry experts will present successful case studies, illustrating how this transition can enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Discussions will also cover the opportunities and infrastructure developments needed for widespread methanol adoption and the regulatory landscape shaping its future.

Learnings

• Understanding Methanol’s Environmental Impact: Participants will gain insights into how methanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional marine fuels.
• Practical Implementation and Infrastructure Needs: The session will provide a detailed overview of the infrastructure required for methanol adoption, including bunkering facilities and storage solutions.
• Regulatory Framework and Market Opportunities: Participants will explore the current regulatory environment surrounding methanol as a marine fuel, including incentives and policies that support its adoption. It will explore Hong Kong’s role as a green bunkering hub and the market opportunities, such as partnerships and investments in methanol technology, equipping attendees with the knowledge to navigate and capitalize on emerging trends in the maritime energy landscape.

Post-Event Actions

• Engage with government and stakeholders to analyze investment opportunities to establish Hong Kong as a green fuel hub.
• Foster partnerships between shipping companies, green fuel suppliers, government and port authorities to address logistical and infrastructure challenges.
