Developments within alternative fuels are rapid as well as experiences with actual operations are increasing.
At this event IDA Maritime and DSNAME will like to invite you to a follow up on the autumns event on alternative fuels. We arrange this event in a different way than our traditional Monday meetings, so be prepared! We will have a total of six short presentations, three before the break followed by half an hour of debate - including the presenters and you the audience – followed by three presentations and half an hour of debate after the break.
The first three presentations will focus on actual operational experiences attained with alternative fuels, most recent test results and considerations to the impact towards ship design. After a sandwich break, the three latter presentations will focus on the broader application of alternative fuels in the perspective of fuel bunkering and availability, propulsion technologies in general as well as specific considerations of fuel cells.
17.00 – 17.05:
Welcome and housekeeping rules by Philip Holt, Senior Naval Architect, MAN Energy Solutions
The event is co-hosted by Harshit Tripathi, Head of Fleet Efficiency & Decarbonisation, Ultrabulk and Christian Simon Nielsen, Senior Project Manager, DFDS
17.05-17.50: First round of presentations and debate
Presentations on practical experiences gained for methanol and ammonia and their impact on ship design
Experiences on methanol and ammonia by Rasmus Holm Bidstrup, Principal Promotion Manager, MAN Energy Solutions
The MAN B&W ME-LGIM engines have experienced a significant uptake in newbuilding contracting in the past 3 years. MAN Energy Solutions provide an update on the latest design updates and service experiences from engines in service. The presentation will furthermore include a brief into to the very latest results from the ammonia engine development, with a focus on the two-stroke ammonia combustion testing.
Laura Mærsk and e-methanol production by Christian Skoudal Løth, Senior Project Manager, Mærsk
Mærsk will present Laura Mærsk as a case and include the e-Methanol production in Kassø to give some perspective on the entire supply chain of future fuels. Based on this the current status on where Mærsk is today in terms of vessel orders and supply requirements on fuels in the future will be given.
DFDS and alternative fuels, status in Q1 2024 by Jens Peter Baltersen, Senior Project Manager, DFDS
Will touch upon the experiences we have gained in DFDS using biofuel on one vessel so far, as well as reveal the rough plans both for biofuel and for the two other fuels in focus, methanol and ammonia (also batteries for certain routes).
Jens Peter will further touch upon the obvious show-stoppers/challenges we are facing with respect to new fuels being a medium sized, regional short-sea Ro-Ro and Ro-Pax operator
17.50-18.20:
Questions to and debate on the first three presentation, moderated by Lars Robert Pedersen, Deputy Secretary General/COO, Bimco
18.20-18.50:
Refreshments
18.50-19.30: Second round of presentations and debate
CIP - Philip Christiani, Partner, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners
CIP will share experience from an investor point of view on the development of large scale production of maritime fuels for the decarbonization of the commercial fleet.
Brief overlook of different fuel pathways - Peter Lystrup Christensen, Head of Ship Technology Systems, MMMCZCS
The presentation will include the centers’ view and work within different fuel pathways and link them with fuel cell technologies. It will touch upon an ongoing project for feasibility and consider impact on battery powered vessel design.
Hydrogen and fuel cells for carbon free shipping by Kristina Fløche Juelsgaard, Director of Market Development, Ballard Power Systems
The presentation will introduce Ballard Power Systems Europe and explores the use of hydrogen as a maritime fuel, delving into its advantages and disadvantages. The focus then shifts to the type approved fuel cell product, FCwave200, emphasizing its significance in decarbonizing shipping , as a fuel cell technology designed specifically for maritime applications. The presentation concludes with a case featuring the Norled hydrogen ferry.
19.30-20.00:
Questions to and debate on the latter three presentations, moderated by Lars Robert Pedersen, Deputy Secretary General/COO, Bimco
