The International Maritime Organization held a technical seminar on using ammonia as a marine fuel, drawing 800 participants from member states, industry, and academia. The event covered ammonia production, bunkering, engine technology, emissions control, and safety concerns. It is part of the IMO's Future Fuels and Technology Project, a Korea-IMO partnership to cut greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping. The seminar follows earlier sessions on carbon capture, biofuels, and methane-based fuels, signaling a broad push toward low-carbon options. The article also notes that sound policy depends on technical evidence, a key point as the IMO moves toward stricter fuel regulations.
