CMA CGM and Maersk to develop standards for alternative fuels and green methanol vessels

AP Moller-Maersk and CMA CGM have joined forces to further their net zero strategies by developing standards for the use of alternative green fuels and green methanol vessels, which will contribute to shipping’s energy transition.

The shipping lines will collaborate on developing high standards for alternative sustainable fuels, including the analysis of full lifecycle and related greenhouse gases (GHG), and helping to set the framework for mass production of green methane and green methanol.

There are also plans to develop and maintain standards for operation of green methanol vessels with regards to safety and bunkering, as well as accelerating port readiness for bunkering and supply of bio/e-methanol at key ports around the world.
