For the past decade, LNG has emerged as a transitional fuel for shipping, surpassing 1,550 LNG-fueled vessels since 2016. However, methane slip poses a significant challenge, with emissions regulations tightening. Initiatives like MAMII are addressing leakage issues, yet standardization and data accessibility remain critical for effective compliance and emissions tracking.
Royal Caribbean Group, a prominent player in the vacation industry, has joined the Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) to reduce methane emissions in the maritime sector. With a focus on transitioning to LNG fuels, the initiative aims to combat methane emissions with industry collaboration. Royal Caribbean Group’s involvement is crucial in driving sustainability efforts.
Researchers are making strides in reducing methane slip emissions in the maritime industry. The Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) announced promising results from technology feasibility studies by four companies. These studies showed strong potential to cut methane emissions and convert methane into alternatives for economic efficiency.
