Welcome to the 9th Clean Marine Fuel Forum 2025!
As the maritime industry moves steadily towards 2030 climate targets, the call to decarbonise has become both urgent and non-negotiable. With over 80% of global trade transported by sea, the sector’s transition to cleaner fuels is pivotal in shaping a sustainable, low-carbon future.
The theme for this year’s forum, “Net Zero: Achieving the Audacious,” challenges stakeholders to go beyond incremental change — to embrace innovation, collaboration, and bold decision-making in driving the shift to zero- and low-carbon marine fuels.
From Green Methanol, Ammonia, and Hydrogen, to emerging propulsion technologies and energy efficiency solutions, the path forward is filled with both promise and complexity. Infrastructure gaps, fuel availability, cost, and safety standards are among the real-world challenges that must be addressed.
This forum provides a focused platform for industry leaders, fuel providers, shipowners, policymakers, and researchers to discuss practical solutions, share progress, and explore the future of clean marine fuels.
We invite you to be part of this important dialogue — to exchange insights, shape strategies, and collectively advance our journey to net zero.
