E Diesel | Shipping

E-fuels, produced by extracting hydrogen using electricity from renewable sources, offer a sustainable alternative which can significantly reduce GHG emissions whilst not jeopardizing other environmental requirements regarding biodiversity, air quality and material sourcing. Notably, a recent survey conducted by Accelleron, involving high-level executives from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain, revealed that about 93% of maritime companies envision e-fuels as pivotal in fostering more sustainable shipping (Acceleron 2023).

A notable research project demonstrating progress in this field is the Clean Maritime Demonstrator Competition, where CATAGEN led a consortium that won funding for a techno-economic feasibility study to explore the production and distribution of e-diesel, aiming to deliver significant decarbonization to the UK's maritime activities (McKeown 2024).

Supported by the UK Department for Transport and Innovate UK, this project seeks to determine the commercial viability of using CATAGEN’s E-FUEL GEN technology to produce e-diesel. Moreover, it aims to establish a replicable model for adoption across various harbors and ports in the UK, with potential global applicability
