Managing the Transition to Zero-Carbon Marine Fuels

Low Blend [-72-79%] NH3 Very Low Cl [-86-93%] The EU’s emission reduction targets for shipping fuel carbon price of $100/ton in 2025 increasing 4.25% and emissions, which will be fully phased into the EU’s annually, the net present value (NPV) of the cost of emissions trading system (ETS) by 2026, will have a marine fuel oil over the 30-year life of the ship could substantial impact on the economi.

[...] The net present value (NPV) of fuel costs over the life of the ship would be $392M, roughly double the $200M cost of the same fuel without a carbon price.
