Northern European & Baltic Green Corridor Prefeasibility Study Northern European & Baltic Green Corridor Prefeasibility Study The European Green Corridor Network pre-feasibility study – was carried out by Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping in partnership with Port of Gdynia, the Port of Roenne, the Port of Rotterdam, the Hamburg Port Authority, and the Port of Tallinn - to determine the opportunities for green shipping corridors in the greater North Sea – Skagerrak – Kattegat - Baltic Sea region. It assesses the current regional maritime activity, vessels, and voyage patterns, alternative fuel production, supply, and port readiness to cater for potential vessels operating on alternative fuels, the outlook on cost of emissions reduction and cost to end-customers, before outlining recommendations to all stakeholders to progress green corridors in the region. The study finds that ferry lines, passenger and vehicle carriers could be advantageous starting points for green corridors in the region, which would be supplemented by feeder containers to support the scale of zero-emission shipping and fuels. The outlook shows that because the region is at the forefront of establishing zero-emission fuel production facilities a range of potential zero-emission fuels could be available. The first phase of zero-emission fuels will be methanol, as this builds on the already available engines as well as the fact that passenger transport routes in this decade are likely to use methanol.

Scaling U.S. Zero-Emission Shipping: Potential Hydrogen Demand at Aleutian Islands Ports Scaling U.S. Zero-Emission Shipping: Potential Hydrogen Demand at Aleutian Islands Ports This study estimates the volume of fuel demand and potential market size, in U.S. dollars, for three scenarios for future LH2 refueling in Alaska. We assess all transpacific ship operations in 2019 and include latent demand for LH2from the sizeable local fishing fleets in Dutch Harbor. We find a large potential demand for LH2 ship fuel at Aleutian Islands ports that ranges from about 10,000 tonnes per year(market value estimated at $39million assuming 2035 prices) from ships alreadyvisiting Dutch Harbor up to 260,000 tonnes (more than $1 billion) if oceangoing vessels divert to Alaska to refuel as part of a mature transpacific hydrogen network. An even larger potential market (up to $1.6 billion) could be captured if Alaska makes early, proactive investments in LH2 bunkering infrastructure that lock in customers.

US Green Shipping Corridors Framework US Green Shipping Corridors Framework Green shipping corridors are a key means of spurring the early adoption of zero-emission fuels and technologies that will help place the sector on a pathway to align with the goal to limit global temperature rise to 1.5-degrees C. This framework sets out the U.S. vision of green shipping corridors as maritime routes that showcase low- and zero-emission lifecycle fuels and technologies with the ambition to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions across all aspects of the corridor in support of sector-wide decarbonization no later than 2050. The framework also elaborates on the potential steps and multiple pathways through which a fully decarbonized corridor can be achieved.

Decarbonizing Bulk Carriers with Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Wind-Assisted Propulsion: a Modeled Case Study Analysis Decarbonizing Bulk Carriers with Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Wind-Assisted Propulsion: a Modeled Case Study Analysis This paper considers whether LH2 fuel cells or compressed hydrogen (CH2) fuel cells could replace fossil fuels for bulk carriers by investigating three ships of varying sizes: a 57,000 deadweight tonne (dwt) dry bulk carrier transiting the Chinese coast; a 69,000 dwt ore and coal carrier sailing the North American Great Lakes; and a 7,570 dwt cement carrier operating in Europe’s North and Baltic Seas. The authors used 2019 Automatic Identification System (AIS) ship traffic data and weather data observations to estimate the ships’ total energy use and the energy-saving potential of rotor sails for two routes for each ship. As shown in the figure below, the two larger ships could complete both of their modeled routes using LH2, even without the help of wind-assisted propulsion. The smallest bulk carrier does not have as much space available for LH2, and that makes it relatively more challenging for this ship. Still, results show additional legs could be achieved for the smallest ship by using rotor sails in combination with LH2, and for the two longest legs, by replacing 2.4% of its cargo space with LH2 in combination with four rotor sails.

Liquid Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure to Support a Zero-Emission U.S.–China Container Shipping Corridor Liquid Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure to Support a Zero-Emission U.S.–China Container Shipping Corridor This is a follow-up to our March 2020 study that examined the potential of using hydrogen fuel cells to power container ships servicing a busy corridor between China and the United States. According to that analysis, 99% of the voyages made in 2015 could be powered by hydrogen with only minor changes to fuel capacity or operations, by replacing 5% of cargo space with more hydrogen fuel or by adding one additional port of call to refuel. (43% of 2015 voyages could be completed with no changes at all.) This working paper focuses on refueling demand and evaluates what refueling infrastructure would be needed, and at which ports, to enable the same 2015 container ship traffic to use liquid hydrogen (LH2) in combination with fuel cells along the same transpacific corridor.
