PART 2: PARALLEL SESSIONS 11:10 - 12:15

INFRASTRUCTURE

Deep Dive Debate!
Moderator:
Gunnar Malm Gamlem, SINTEF

Participants:

Ivan Østvik, Norled
Cees Boon, Port of Rotterdam
Stian Magnusson, Azane Fuel Solutions
Kevin Gould, Statkraft
Christian Berg, Yara Clean Ammonia

The first hydrogen-fuelled vessel is already afloat, but where and when and how will hydrogen and ammonia become available in scale? Studies suggest that 85% of the investments in alternative fuels will be required in production and infrastructure. Through conversation with players from both sides, we will ask:

  • What are ports doing to offer climate neutral ammonia and H2 to ships?

  • What will the ports offer? All types of fuels, some types, and who decides which ones?

  • Are there synergies between production for land based industries and maritime?

  • If industry cannot pay the price of climate neutral fuels, can shipping?

  • How can a shipowner build a vessel for a fuel that is almost non-existent today?

  • Will NH3 and H2 ever become commodities or is long term contracts preferred?

MARINE ENERGY

The endless motion of water in the oceans is a vast store of energy. This energy can be harnessed and used to generate electricity needed for our zero-emission societies. Great innovations are happening in the oceans, learn about some of them here:
