The Green Shipping Corridor Coalition

In the last month, the Sprint team who researched green ammonia as a shipping fuel have been working hard to communicate their research to stakeholders.

The paper “Green ammonia imports could supplement long-duration energy storage in the UK” has been published in Environmental Research: Energy (authored by Carlo Palazzi, Richard Nayak-Luke, Jasper Verschuur, Nicholas Salmon, Jim W Hall and René Bañares-Alcantara). In this paper, the authors present green ammonia as an alternative option for long-term energy storage in 2050, and argue that both domestic and international sources of energy can supplement each other to buffer long periods of low variable renewable energy supply.

The team were also invited to attend a workshop with the Rotterdam-Singapore green shipping corridor coalition on the 18th-19th September. The coalition aim to reduce emissions from large container vessels by enabling the use of low- and zero-carbon shipping fuels, and will be sharing progress, insights and objectives with partners and contributors.
