What happened
Equinor and the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) have formed a five-year partnership to accelerate the deployment of alternative marine fuels and technologies aimed at reducing shipping emissions. The collaboration combines GCMD's experience in real-world maritime trials with Equinor's background as a vessel charterer and energy provider. The partnership focuses on addressing technical and operational barriers to the wider adoption of fuels such as biofuels, ammonia, and methanol.
