TIANJIN -- The methanol-dual fuel "ro-ro" (roll-on/roll-off) ship CM HONG KONG completed bunkering of 300 tonnes of green methanol at Tianjin Port in North China on Tuesday morning, marking the country's first green methanol refueling for a ro-ro vessel.
Sinopec Fuel Oil Sales Co Ltd conducted the operation using green methanol sourced from northern China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, which is produced from waste tires and biomass and can cut carbon dioxide emission by around 460 tonnes per refueling compared to conventional fuels.
As the global shipping industry accelerates its decarbonization efforts, clean and renewable methanol is gaining significant traction.
