The IMO has just approved the first-ever UN-backed global carbon pricing mechanism for shipping — a historic and transformative step for the industry.
📄 We’ve just released a compact Insight Analysis (download here: New_Green_Marine_Fuels_vs1) covering:
✅ What this means for methanol and ammonia as marine fuels
✅ The real costs of creating artificial green fuel markets
✅ Who benefits, who pays, and how truly green these fuels are
✅ How this regulation can finally unlock large-scale renewable energy integration
🔍 Key Highlights:
• $380/ton CO₂ for ships above limits
• $100/ton CO₂ for clean ships
• Carbon credits for top performers
• Biofuels are officially recognized as green fuels
• 30% emission cuts by 2030 — aiming for net-zero by 2050
Green fuels are no longer just a concept — they are now policy.
🧠 Nenuphar team breaks down the technical feasibility, economic implications, and regulatory impacts — including how methanol is already proving viable, while ammonia remains a promising but complex option.
