decarbonization efforts hinge on the switch, but this transition presents significant challenges in terms of cost and production timelines. Switching to alternative fuels is projected to cost 1.5-4x more than traditional fuel by 2030, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/6\/659.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">report (pdf)<\/a> by ship classification society ClassNK, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 would require the share of zero-emission fuels in shipping to rise to 25% by 2030, according to the International Maritime Organization\u2019s (IMO) 2023 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/en\/OurWork\/Environment\/Pages\/2023-IMO-Strategy-on-Reduction-of-GHG-Emissions-from-Ships.aspx#:~:text=The%202023%20IMO%20GHG%20Strategy%20also%20includes%20a%20new%20level,by%20international%20shipping%20by%202030.\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">greenhouse gasses strategy<\/a>. The projection \u2014 which factors in the whole lifecycle of fuels \u2014 focuses on ships with 5k gross tonnage and above. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The alternative-fuel tradeoff: <\/strong>Alternative fuels entail a trade-off in the required fuel storage volume and weight on board, a major consideration for ship design and cargo capacity, the ClassNK report outlines. Ammonia and methanol contain less chemical energy by weight compared to liquefied natural gas (LNG) \u2014 a ship running on ammonia or methanol will require roughly double the amount of conventional fuel for the same route. In numerical terms, a little over 1k tons of ammonia or methanol are needed for a route otherwise fueled by 420 tons of LNG or 435 tons of liquefied petroleum gas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In cost terms: <\/strong>The price gap is expected to narrow over time as production swells and new incentive policies and legislation are introduced. The transition to alternative fuels will likely bring about a rise in shipbuilding and fuel costs, and a drop in regulation-associated costs, thanks to new rules expected to be adopted by the IMO.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Massive investments in greener shipbuilding and fuel production will be needed to meet <\/strong><strong>the target<\/strong>, which would require production to reach around 106 mn tons for green methanol or 114 mn tons for green ammonia. The world\u2019s shipping fleet would also need to ramp up the uptake of greener ships to reach a cumulative capacity of 352 mn gross tonnage. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER-<\/strong> The IMO is set to ratify its <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/en\/MediaCentre\/PressBriefings\/pages\/IMO-approves-netzero-regulations.aspx\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">net-zero framework<\/a> next October, introducing new fuel standards and a global pricing mechanism for emissions in the shipping industry. If ratified, changes will take effect by 2027 and apply to ships over 5k gross tons, covering 85% of international shipping emissions.
