Ammonia and hydrogen are the most viable long-term options for shipping, according to shipowners, many of whom say they have no decarbonisation strategies in place.
Almost 60% of shipowners see hydrogen and ammonia as the best long-term fuel options, a survey by the ABS showed.
“When asked which fuel is most likely to be adopted in the near term, 70% selected fuels in the light gas pathway, which includes liquefied natural gas in the short term and hydrogen as a future solution,” ABS said in a statement.
