NEXT GEN AMMONIA Workshop

Since running the first edition of NEXT GEN Marine HYDROGEN in October 2021 the world has changed. Following 2022 political instability in Europe, energy security and the drive for alternative fuels is urgent.

For marine it is now essential to establish which fuels are viable and what will be required onshore. UK, EU and US Hydrogen Strategies aim to accelerate the development of clean Hydrogen. 

Significant government funding on both sides of the Atlantic will help to build Hydrogen infrastructure. Much of this will be around ports, leading to a supply of Hydrogen for use onshore and onboard vessels.

An international team of experts at NEXT GEN Workshops have examined the potential for Hydrogen and derivatives. Managing safety, compliance and economics are priorities to enable adoption as technology reaches high TRLs.

We now need to identify what, when and where alternative fuels will be available for maritime. Ammonia as a marine fuel is now featuring in global reports relating to energy transition.

Growth will be strongest in countries that are investing in alternative fuel infrastructure. As commercial shipping has first end-users we examine opportunities and challenges.
