In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that trade association Methanol Institute (MI) has welcomed India’s Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), Kandla, as its newest member.
Positioned along the Rotterdam-Singapore Green Shipping Corridor, DPA is reportedly building infrastructure for zero-emission fuel bunkering, piloting green hydrogen and battery-powered tugboats, rolling out SOPs for methanol bunkering and setting up a Centre of Excellence for green maritime fuels, according to the report.
Methanol Institute highlighted that the port, which is said to be handling around 140 million tons of cargo each year, is stepping up as a key player in the shift to cleaner fuels like bio-methanol.
Methanol Institute stated: “We look forward to working together to advance methanol as a marine fuel and support the transition to sustainable shipping.”
