Summary - Saudi Arabia is building a $5 billion plant called Helios to make green fuel for export and decrease the country’s dependence on petrodollars. All of the zero-carbon fuel it produces will be shipped to international buyers in the form of ammonia. Many believe it could also play a role as fuel for the marine industry.

In recent months, Cheniere Energy, the largest LNG exporter in the United States, has begun providing emissions data , which it calls “carbon emissions tags,” or CE tags, for its gas. The tags quantify the greenhouse gas emissions of a given LNG cargo, with the aim of easing buyers’ concerns. But there are problems here as well.

Summary - Over 20% of all Dutch emissions are coming from the Port of Rotterdam, of which the production of grey hydrogen from fossil feedstock is one of the main culprits. The end goal is to create circular fuel for the maritime industry in Rotterdam. Why focus on creating sustainable marine fuels? Lots of green hydrogen.

If we want to create synthetic fuel for the marine industry and use hydrogen as a feedstock, we could end up needing in excess of 50GW. Lots of green hydrogen.
