The RFS program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable fuels in the United States. Renewable fuels are produced from renewable biomass and reduce the amount of fossil fuels in transportation fuel, heating oil, and jet fuel. A Renewable Identification Number (RIN) is assigned to each gallon of renewable fuel, and obligated parties must meet Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) to achieve renewable fuel targets. However, renewable fuels used in ocean-going vessels currently do not generate RINs.

This white paper discusses the eligibility of RINs and the potential for a marine RIN market if the definition of transportation fuel is changed to include ocean-going vessels.

LNG bunkering has gained traction as a cleaner fuel alternative, offering reduced emissions and compliance with stricter environmental regulations. Hydrogen, with its potential for zero-emission operations, holds great promise for the future, while electricity is increasingly being explored for its viability in powering vessels. However, despite the growing interest and progress in these areas, shipping operators face numerous challenges in their pursuit of decarbonization. From infrastructure limitations and high costs to regulatory uncertainties and technological complexities, these challenges pose significant hurdles on the path to a greener maritime industry. 

Ahead of the North American LNG Bunkering Summit 2023, we spoke exclusively to Dain Detillier, Executive Vice President – LNG Operations, Harvey Gulf International Marine, about how he is utilizing LNG, hydrogen, and electricity to drive sustainable ship transportation and the decarbonization of the maritime industry.
