Additives enhance methanol fuel properties and deliver cost savings, reliability and simplified logistics for shippers

The shipping industry is looking for the most effective decarbonisation strategies en route to the IMO’s 2050 net zero target. In this sector, switching to low or zero carbon fuels has some of the greatest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is creating interest in the use of alternative fuels, including methanol. Dewi Ballard, Infineum Product Manager, talks to Insight about the growing use of methanol and the challenges related to its use in dual-fuel engines. He also explores the capabilities of methanol additives, their impact on engine performance, and how shippers can benefit from using additised fuels.
