FuelSOME project

FuelSOME’s vision is to make a substantial contribution to the required drastic reduction of Greenhouse gases emissions from global shipping (climate change mitigation) with a reduction of air pollutants, such as NOx, SOX, and pollution prevention and control, at the same time.
The future roadmap of the project is that the outcomes generated will not only benefit the maritime industry but can also serve as a blueprint for implementing the same technology in other hard to abate emission sectors and/or, thereby enabling multi-fuel energy generators to become the norm in the future.
With regards to fuels, ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen have been selected for consideration in FuelSOME with clear advantages regarding transportation, storage, energy density and, in the long term, potential for resource valorisation in a circular economy scenario.
