Summary

FASTWATER aims to transition the shipping industry to methanol as a clean fuel, reducing pollutant emissions. The project focuses on developing retrofit solutions and next-generation systems for various vessels, demonstrating the complete supply chain from renewable methanol production to ship operation.

Objective

FASTWATER focuses on methanol, a clean fuel, available in large quantities in most ports today and offering a pathway to a climate-neutral synthetic fuel produced from renewables.

Methanol is suited for internal combustion engines, gas turbines as well as fuel cells.

As a liquid fuel, it is easily stored on board, which is advantageous to ship design, and enables relatively simple retrofitting.

Consequently, the EU’s Joint Research Centre’s study on alternative fuels for shipping states that met…
