Accelleron Survey: E-fuels in the shipping industry
One of our key missions is to fast-track the infrastructure development of carbon-neutral fuels that are essential to decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries.
In September 2023, we commissioned a survey of 200 maritime decision makers in four European countries, to get their expert insights on the importance of e-fuels (synthetic fuels with a hydrogen base) for global shipping. Questions included:
- Significance of e-fuels for shipping
- Cost and availability of e-fuels
- Implementation of e-fuels in the shipping industry
- Strategies for decarbonization in shipping
Key takeaways
60 percent of shipping’s decision-makers consider retrofitting existing ships to run on either transitional or carbon-neutral fuels to be the best medium-term strategy.
Three-quarters of those surveyed assume that the cost of e-fuels will remain higher than that of traditional fuels over the next 12 years.
52 percent of shipping companies and ship operators already see e-fuels as a potential alternative, and 47 percent have concrete e-fuel investment plans
