Sustainable Marine Fuel Market Report Analysis:
Acquisition & Partnerships:
Acquisition:
For instance, in December 2024, The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to establish a clear and consistent definition for sustainable maritime fuel (SMF). This initiative aims to align efforts across the maritime community, industry, government, and other stakeholders to support the development and adoption of advanced fuel technologies. The effort is part of the DOE’s broader strategy to decarbonize transportation, building on the 2023 U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization and the recently released Action Plan for Maritime Energy and Emissions Innovation.
Partnership:
For instance, in May 2024, Lakeway Link AB, in its latest strategic move towards sustainable operations, has announced a significant new partnership with ScanOcean AB, a leader in renewable marine fuel solutions. This collaboration marks the introduction of B15-DMA, a marine fuel with 15% renewable content, for Lakeway Link's new roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) service connecting Södertälje, Sweden, and Gdynia, Poland.
