With working regulations and guidelines on methane slip levels, and the LNG future pathway looking the most viable for many shipowners, reducing methane emissions is a priority for LNG-powered shipping. Advances in methane abatement technologies and practices are reshaping how stakeholders address these challenges. This session will uncover the latest developments in this space and their implications for maritime decarbonisation. The session will answer the following questions:

• What are the implications of the Methane Pledge on LNG shipping?

• What innovative technologies are emerging to address methane emissions in LNG shipping?

• How can shipowners and operators implement methane abatement measures effectively?

• How has regulation or how will regulation develop to support these initiatives – will this accelerate the rate of innovation?

It is clear there are a lot of moves being made for ship newbuilding and investing in innovative ship design, but the need to maximise the benefit from existing fleets that might not be compliant before the end of their lifespan - is a challenge for almost all shipowners currently. Retrofitting can come in many forms, and in this panel, our panellists will discuss their experience and plans with retrofitting by answering the following questions:

• What retrofitting solutions are a priority for your organisation, and how does this differ from ship to ship?

• How can we evaluate the cost-benefit and emission saving of retrofitting vs new builds?

• What are the primary challenges when understanding the best retrofitting solutions?

• How effective to find retrofitting as a way of maximising our current investments? Are there other solutions aside from retrofitting?

Maersk is leading the way in adopting green methanol as a sustainable marine fuel. Methanol offers significant decarbonisation potential, but its integration brings unique technical and operational challenges. In this presentation, Ola will share Maersk’s experiences with methanol bunkering, highlighting the challenges, risks and successes they’ve encountered along the way by answering the following questions:

• What are the primary technical challenges associated with methanol bunkering, and how can they be overcome?

• How do safety and handling protocols differ for methanol compared to traditional fuels?

• What have been the key successes and learnings from Maersk’s early methanol adoption?

• How can the industry scale methanol infrastructure to support widespread adoption?

The discussion of Ammonia viability as a marine fuel incorporates many considerations such as price, availability and crucially safety. When we understand the safety challenges of Ammonia, one key piece of the puzzle is ensuring that the correct training and preparation is in place for marine responders. BlueTack have been working on an Ammonia study, to examine potential barriers surrounding the introduction of ammonia as ship fuel, focusing on technical & operational safety aspects. Join this presentation to learn more about this, how the challenges might impact the evaluation of Ammonia as a marine fuel, and how we can prepare together as an industry.

The Mass Balance system has been used by many within the LNG supply chains and offers a practical framework for incorporating renewable LNG into traditional LNG supply chains – further developing the LNG pathway to decarbonisation. As demand increases, it is key to address the implementation challenges to ensure regulatory compliance and alignment. Join this session to answer:

• What challenges exist in implementing Mass Balance systems across diverse supply chains?

• How has mass balance methodology had an effect on current operations?

• How can stakeholders ensure the integrity and transparency of Mass Balance claims?

• What role does Mass Balance play in supporting the adoption of renewable LNG?

As the maritime industry increases its reliance on LNG and Liquefied Bio-Methane (LBM), the demand for scalable infrastructure is increasing. Stakeholders must overcome significant technical, logistical and financial challenges to ensure infrastructure growth keeps pace with the demand. This panel will discuss strategies for expanding this infrastructure network and understand how different key stakeholders must work together to make this achievable for the future of LNG. Our panellists will answer the following questions:

• How can ports invest in and adapt infrastructure to meet the growing demand for LNG and LBM?

• What are the key challenges in ensuring infrastructure compatibility with emerging technologies and fuel options?

• How can collaboration across the supply chain enhance the speed and efficiency of infrastructure expansion?

• Are we on track to meet the growing demand for LNG and LBM, or could capacity limitations slow industry progress?

The reality of the future of LNG is that after 2035, LBM is going to be the priority and compliant fuel to utilise in LNG-fitted ships. Each year we hear the shipowner perspective on their projections within the scalability and use of LBM within the market in the next few years. The demand for LNG ships is growing, and in 2025 this conversation is one of the most important to evaluate the viability of the future. Join this session to hear from some of the biggest shipowners to hear their take on:

• Do you agree with the often-used sentiment that LNG is transition fuel – and how does LBM fit into this picture?

• How are they currently using LBM within their fleets?

• What are the foreseeable challenges for 2035 and beyond in regard to this pathway?

• What are the most promising developments in the space?

• How are you collaborating with other organisations to expand this network?

With low-emission fuels being a critical step to meeting emission reduction targets, much of the decarbonisation focus is being put on this transition. However, with much uncertainty to do with technological advancements, supply of these fuels and cost, the book and claim system has emerged as a potential solution to share costs and monetise the benefits of green shipping across the supply chain. Join this session to hear our panellists answer the following questions:

• How can Book & Claim enable cost-sharing across stakeholders, reducing the financial burden on shipowners and operators?

• How does the book and claim system compare to offsetting/insetting?

• How can a book and claim system help globally as well as ensure EU target compliance?
