INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS AMID IMO UNCERTAINTY

With the IMOs decision to postpone the adoption of the Net-Zero Framework, there has been a loss in confidence for investment into low-carbon fuel pathways like Methanol and Ammonia.

But, while there are gaps in global standards to incentivise the use and development of these low-carbon fuels, there is now an opportunity for the industry to define elements of the framework, ahead of a future adoption decision.

One of the biggest challenges is the disconnect between the offtake agreement period needed for production versus what is suitable for buyers. This challenge makes is pivotal to connect both sides to understand how to build confidence and minimise the risk of investment.

Why should you attend the Alternative Fuels Summit?

From Regulation to Reality

How will EU ETS, Fuel EU Maritime, and the IMO decision to postpone the adoption of a Net-Zero Framework impact the development of Ammonia and Methanol pathways?

Establishing Standards

How can we ensure that sufficient safety guidelines are in place for the development of alternative fuel pathways?

Driving Alternative Fuel

Where are pilots and developments happening in real-time, globally, and how can we use these case-studies as fuel to improve alternative fuel maturity

Ammonia Bunkering Pilot Safety Study

As ammonia moves closer to commercial use as a marine fuel, safety in bunkering operations remains a defining challenge. The Port of Rotterdam has completed an ammonia bunkering pilot and used the outcomes to validate its safety policy, following its nine steps approach for preparing ports for future fuels.

Moving Forward with Methanol in Maritime

This session, led by the Methanol Institute, explores how collaboration across producers, ports, and shipowners can sustain momentum, ensure interoperability, and turn regional progress into a global transition pathway.

Clean Fuel Offtake Agreements – Disconnect Between Long-Term Risk and Long-Term Security

Any clean fuel pathway that is being invested in currently relies on the bio and e/synthetic drop-in fuel future – but how can suppliers and buyers find offtake agreements that suit both parties?

Interview with Michael Schaap, Commercial Director at Titan

LNG, Methanol, or Ammonia? The Fuel Strategies Shipowners Should Prioritise Now

In this exclusive interview, Michael Schaap, Commercial Director at Titan, shares his perspective on one of the most pressing questions facing shipowners today: how to make confident fuel and infrastructure decisions while global regulation is still evolving.

Drawing on Titan’s experience at the forefront of alternative fuel bunkering, Schaap explores the commercial realities behind LNG, methanol, and ammonia adoption, and why the methane pathway continues to offer immediate decarbonisation opportunities.

From the implications of delayed IMO decisions to breakthroughs in methane-slip mitigation, this conversation offers a clear-eyed view of where the industry stands today, and where it is heading next.
