The transition towards a climate-neutral maritime sector requires a diverse portfolio of sustainable fuel solutions. Among the most promising options, advanced biofuels and bio-methanol are emerging as key enablers for reducing greenhouse gas emissions while supporting the industry’s pathway to decarbonisation.
To explore the latest developments in these fields, the European projects REFOLUTION, FUEL-UP, and NextFuel invite maritime stakeholders, researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and technology developers to participate in a joint webinar focused on the production, application, and market adoption of advanced biofuels and bio-methanol.
The webinar will examine the challenges and opportunities associated with these alternative fuels, covering topics ranging from production pathways and sustainability considerations to engine compatibility, operational performance, and their role in supporting the maritime energy transition.
