Despite ambitious net-zero targets set by the maritime industry, only a limited supply of alternative marine fuels is readily available on the market, whilst over 95% of projects for producing these fuels have not passed the final investment decision (FID) phase. It is projected it will take at least six years to reach FID and move to production. Which means, unless a significant number of projects materialise soon, the majority of the global shipping fleet will continue to run on heavy-emitting fuels beyond 2030. Configuring the decarbonised maritime fuel value chain of the future is a costly affair, requiring shipowners, fuel producers, governments, and financial institutions to forge innovative collaborations and develop new business models to release the bottlenecks slowing the journey to net-zero emissions by 2050.
