GCMD Successfully Completes Final Supply Chain Trial for Biofuel
The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has successfully completed its final supply chain trial for biofuel blended with very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO). This marks the end of a series of trials initiated in July 2022 as part of a larger pilot to develop a framework to provide quality, quantity and GHG abatement…
OGCI partners with GCMD to advance solutions to decarbonize shipping
The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) and the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) yesterday announced a two-year coalition partnership agreement to work on a range of solutions to decarbonize the shipping industry. Areas of collaboration will focus on energy efficiency to reduce emissions, future fuels that are lower in carbon intensity, such as…
GCMD and NYK Line team up to address concerns of long-term, continuous biofuels use on vessel operations
The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has teamed up with NYK Line to launch Project LOTUS (long-term impact of continuous use of biofuels on vessel operations). This six-month project will trial the continuous use of a biofuels blend comprising of 24% Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) and very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) onboard…
Landmark study on offloading onboard captured carbon dioxide identifies low port readiness as key barrier to large-scale commercialisation
Image: GCMD Singapore, 19 March 2024 – A recent study commissioned by the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD), in collaboration with Lloyd’s Register and ARUP, has identified low port readiness as a major hurdle bottlenecking the adoption of Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage (OCCS) system as a practicable decarbonisation solution. Whilst the technologies required…
