When shipping giant Maersk announced last month it would operate a “carbon-neutral” vessel by 2023, the Danish company committed to using a fuel that’s made from renewable sources, is free of soot-forming pollutants — and is currently in scarce supply. But those vessels use conventional methanol, which is made from coal or natural gas.

Using hydrogen or an LNG/H 2 mixture instead of connecting to the power grid connection is the most efficient way to provide power on-site,” says L-Charge CEO Dmitry Lashin. Low-carbon fuels are currently the most economically feasible solution, and can be used as a bridging technology towards a carbon-neutral solution such as hydrogen.
