Why attend

The Clean Marine Fuel Forum focuses on pragmatic, non-promotional discussions that address commercial viability, fuel supply chains, and technical reality.

See where decarbonisation is really heading

From green methanol, ammonia, LNG and biofuels to hybridisation and digital optimisation — hear commercially grounded pathways that balance ambition with execution.

Navigate a fragmented regulatory landscape

Get clarity on regulatory divergence, the gap between fuel production and fleet renewal, and how risk allocation and bankability are shaping investment decisions.

Connect with the people delivering it

Meet shipowners, fuel suppliers, class societies, financiers and policymakers moving projects from pilots to scalable deployment.
