How will alternative fuels shape the future of shipping—and what will their adoption mean for maritime operations, investment and sustainability?
Join the upcoming webinar “Alternative fuels for the maritime sector: sustainability, regulatory and practical perspectives” on 27 November 2026, from 10:00 to 12:10 CET, held online via Zoom.
Bringing together experts from academia and research, the webinar will explore the transition to alternative marine fuels through complementary regulatory, operational and technological perspectives. It offers an opportunity for maritime professionals, researchers and other interested stakeholders to exchange knowledge and discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead.
The programme includes:
- Alternative fuels and their implications for maritime operations, chartering and investment — Georgios Stathakis, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
- Net-Zero by 2050: What the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework Means for Your Fleet — Dominic Hudson and Seyedvahid Vakili, University of Southampton.
- The Road to Maritime Decarbonisation: Net-Zero-Emissions-Cold Ironing and Beyond — Panagiotis Andreou, Cyprus Marine & Maritime Institute.
- Next-Generation Marine Fuels: Thermodynamic and Practical Assessment of Ammonia and Methanol in Internal Combustion Engines — Paolo Sementa, CNR-STEMS.
- The NextFuel project: Electrification of Steam Methane Reforming for Biomethanol Production – Sustainability Aspects & Key Results — Maria Tournaviti, CERTH, on behalf of NextFuel.
Maria-Anna Charitopoulou of CERTH will introduce the speakers and moderate the closing Q&A session, giving participants the opportunity to put their questions to the panel.
For NextFuel, this exchange provides a valuable opportunity to share the project’s work on biomethanol production and connect it with the wider discussion on sustainable maritime fuels.
