Welcome to the 10th Clean Marine Fuel Forum 2026!

As the maritime industry moves from ambition to accountability, delivering decarbonisation is no longer a distant objective, it is an immediate operational and commercial challenge. Regulatory divergence, uneven fuel availability, and infrastructure constraints create a fragmented environment in which decisions carry long-term consequences under short-term uncertainty.

Now in its 10th edition, the Clean Marine Fuel Forum (CMFF) 2026 convenes industry leaders under the theme “Net Zero Under Pressure: Delivering Decarbonization Solutions in a Fragmented World.” Taking place at the Concorde Hotel Singapore on 22 September 2026, the forum examines how decarbonisation can be delivered in practice.

The 2026 programme focuses on navigating regulatory frameworks, addressing the gap between fuel production and fleet renewal, and clarifying risk allocation and bankability. From green methanol, ammonia, LNG and biofuels to hybridisation and digital optimisation, discussions centre on commercially grounded pathways that balance ambition with execution.

As the industry transitions from pilot projects to scalable deployment, CMFF continues to provide a pragmatic platform for coordinated progress. The forum remains committed to advancing dialogue that is technically credible, commercially viable, and reflective of the real pressures shaping global shipping.

Join us at the Concorde Hotel to engage with the leaders and decision-makers defining the next phase of maritime decarbonisation.
