Industry Panel Talks | Future Fuels Without a Global Rulebook: How Can Shipping Move Forward?
In this episode of BetterSea Industry Panel Talks, we hosted experts from across maritime compliance, future fuels, energy and risk to discuss how shipping companies can make better decisions in an increasingly uncertain regulatory and commercial environment. Featuring: Chris To, S&P Global Platts Joey Ng, Braemar Tue Nilson, Ofiniti Moderated by: Dr. Gordana Ilic, BetterSea The conversation explores: ⚓ What makes a good future-proof vessel investment ⚓ Why optionality and multi-fuel capability may matter more than picking one “winning” fuel ⚓ The growing role of LNG, bio-LNG, methanol, ammonia, ethanol and biofuels ⚓ How FuelEU Maritime is creating a new compliance economy and new commercial opportunities ⚓ Why data, total cost of ownership and long-term modelling are becoming critical to investment decisions ⚓ How regional carbon regulations could evolve if a global framework remains uncertain ⚓ FuelEU surplus pricing, market transparency and the risks of entering the market too late ⚓ Why visibility into fuel availability, compliance balances and market activity will become increasingly important toward 2030 The panel also reflects on how quickly shipping has already evolved from emissions accounting and alternative-fuel infrastructure to entirely new markets built around compliance balances.
