There are different types of methanol;

• Grey Methanol
• Brown Methanol
• Blue Methanol
• Green Methanol

Gray and brown methanol is produced from fossil wood raw materials such as natural gas and coal.

Blue methanol has a lower carbon value than gray and brown methanol. It is associated with hydrogen conversion.

Green methanol is produced from biomass and renewable energy sources (electricity etc.).

If we want to examine the use of methanol in the shipping industry, the main usage area will, of course, be ship fuel.

So what are these Methanol Fuel Ships? Let’s examine. 🠗

Methanol Fuel Ships

These ships have been the focus for a while to reduce environmental concerns and emissions. So, are these really sustainable and environmentally friendly?

Methanol Fuel Ships and Sustainability

The fuel resources used are very important for sustainability and carbon emission reduction. According to classical fuel types, Gray and Brown methanol types don’t have different features.

When Green and Blue methanol types are not used, the carbon emission released does not change much. It is very important to use sustainable resources. In this way, it is possible to reduce carbon emissions. If you are concerned about your carbon emissions and want a sustainable future, we at ShipsGo care about this.

The First Green Methanol Powered Containership

Maersk launched the world’s first container ship capable of navigating on green methanol. The ship has a capacity of 2100 TEU and is 172 meters long.

This containership will cruise the Baltic shipping route on the Maersk subsidiary Sealand Europa network. In the information announced on the official website of Maersk, it has set a zero-emission target for 2040 and increased green methanol ship orders.

For example, The CO2 emissions of the world’s 15 largest ships are equal to the emissions of 760 million cars. In addition to these massive ships and their impact, ports are also responsible for tons of CO2.

Nevertheless, an average of 417.2 parts per million CO2 were present in 2022, a rise of more than 25% in just 50 years.

Carbon Offset is viewed as a quick, straightforward, and practical way to motivate action to reduce the effects of climate change.

What is Carbon Offset?

Fossil fuels play a critical role in the current state of the global economy, particularly in transportation. The significant capital invested in fossil fuels and their affordable and practical energy output make them the backbone of transportation operations.

The service balances the unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions during shipping operations. It is a necessary process to prevent the effects of climate change and to breathe cleaner air. Companies and organizations can use the ShipsGo Carbon Offset service to offset their carbon emissions during business processes. This is a certified and approved method. The institutions will make this certificate mandatory for companies and organizations over the years.
