The maritime sector is at a critical juncture in its journey towards decarbonisation. As global regulations tighten and pressure mounts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, alternative fuels such as e-fuels are emerging as a viable solution. A recent study conducted by the New Energies Coalition, in collaboration with France Gaz Maritime, EVOLEN, and Ricardo plc, provides key insights into the potential of e-fuels to drive sustainable transformation in the shipping industry.
The significance of e-fuels in shipping
E-fuels, produced using renewable electricity and green hydrogen, offer a promising route to significantly lower emissions in the maritime sector. The study evaluates the environmental performance of e-fuels, including hydrogen, e-ammonia, e-methanol, and e-methane, with a focus on their lifecycle emissions and compliance with FuelEU Maritime regulations.
The findings indicate that all assessed e-fuels can meet the FuelEU Maritime GHG intensity limits at least until 2040, and in most cases, until 2045—even under conservative emission scenarios. Optimised production and usage pathways could lead to over 90% GHG reductions compared to conventional fossil fuels, ensuring compliance with the 2050 FuelEU targets.
