1:15 PM PANEL: Regulation in Focus – Are the Standards Enough to Support Future Development and Safety of Alternatives

While the IMO's Net-Zero Framework could establish a global fuel standard, some believe that it benefits LNG and biofuels, and less mature alternatives have limited regulatory support or guidance. This session delves into the challenges and opportunities for these emerging fuels, examining the current safety, operational, and certification standards.

- What guidelines exist for ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol, and how do they compare to those for LNG?

- Are current safety standards sufficient to mitigate risks associated with these fuels?

- How can regulators and other stakeholders collaborate to accelerate the development of comprehensive frameworks?

- What safety concerns need to be answered in these regulations, for the future viability of these fuels in shipping?
