Well-to-Propeller GHG emissions results for marine alternative fuels. According to DNV GL, the main drivers for the use of alternative fuels in shipping in the future can be classified in two broad categories: (a) Regulatory requirements and environmental concerns, and (b) availability of fossil fuels, cost and energy security.

I’ve been amazed that most companies seem to front the cost, even start ups. It’s expensive and my clients don’t finance. He was a geek.
