ClassNK has released the report “ClassNK Alternative Fuels Insight,” which summarizes the characteristics and latest trends of alternative fuels to support customers’ future fuel selection.

Amid the pressing need for society-wide reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, regulations aimed at further promoting GHG emission reductions in international shipping are being introduced. This heralds the arrival of an era where GHG emissions from ships will incur costs. In such a situation, for reducing GHG emissions from ships, alongside energy efficiency improvements, the adoption of alternative fuels with lower environmental impacts will become essential in the future. Given the wide range of alternative fuels available for ships, it is necessary to understand not only the technical aspects but also the trends, including fuel availability and cost forecasts, to make appropriate fuel selections.

The “ClassNK Alternative Fuels Insight” is planned for continuous updates according to the latest trends of alternative fuels and regulations in international shipping.
