Whilst ports in Europe and Asia have made progress in handling new hydrogen-based fuels, these advances remain few and far between compared to the global ambitions for building the new multifaceted global energy market. Transporting hydrogen on ships may be challenging, yet ammonia and methanol are projected to take up an increasing share of the market, requiring readily available infrastructure at ports to safely integrate a multi-fuel bunkering capability in an evolving fuel supply chain. Alternative, lower carbon fuel deployment will require significant planning as well as investment to identify, design and build the required infrastructure. Can learnings be transferred from LNG terminals and carriers to guide the maritime industry in transitioning to its role in the energy system of the future?
