A clean inspection record acts as a valuable commercial asset, shortening customer qualification […]
In Denmark, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping projects global biomethane supply could reach 21 billion cubic meters by 2030 under its base case, enough in theory to cover about 70% of the low emissions fuel demand created by the proposed IMO Net-Zero Framework. A stronger policy driven scenario could lift supply […]
