According to Methanex s
Stuart McCall reported by the agency, the fuel could be a viable feedstock but not without support from a robust infrastructure. So far in Europe, the ports of
Antwerp and
Rotterdam are developing methanol bunkering infrastructure. But according to Platts data, methanol consumption is competitive in Emission Control Areas amid a recent increase in price of conventional bunker fuel.

FUJCON 2021: VPS experts offer insight on biofuel bunker properties at virtual roundtable
01 Apr 2021
A rising number of major shipowners have already begun trials on emerging marine biofuels to power their commercial vessels, according to experts at international fuel testing and inspection company VPS.
The firm organised the
VPS Fuel Management Challenges â Moving Forward in 2021 virtual roundtable on Thursday (25 March) as part of the 12th Fujairah International Bunkering and Fuel Oil Virtual Forum (FUJCON 2021).
VPS in-house experts led an in-depth discussion on the trends and management of Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) and Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM); the presentation also included a section on properties of marine biofuels.

The energy sector is currently facing different challenges. It is necessary for business leaders to understand the forthcoming changes that will affect their businesses in order to prepare themselves for any uncertainties and take advantage of new opportunities. This paper identifies changes that are expected to have an impact on Thailand’s energy system in the next 30 years and explores plausible scenarios for Thailand’s energy sector under such changes. The study starts with an examination of global and local circumstances. The examination pinpoints a focal issue as “to achieve sustainable development goals (SDG) by 2050”. Then, STEEP analysis is implemented to identify business drivers in social (S), technological (T), economical (E), ecological (E), and political (P) aspects. Subsequently, consultations with stakeholders are arranged to finalize the critical uncertainties. Policy and technology are fo
