These initiatives reflect the maritime sector’s increasing commitment to investing in practical and innovative solutions for large-scale decarbonization of shipping. **Ammonia engine tests demonstrate emissions reductions of up to 95%** According to recent analysis by the Getting to Zero Coalition of the Global Maritime Forum, using ammonia as a marine fuel could reduce tank-to-wake emissions by 90 to 95% based on full-scale engine tests significantly surpassing initial expectations. While widespread adoption is expected to be gradual, these developments further validate investments by shipowners in dual-fuel newbuilds or vessels fitted with engines designed for conversion. As the fuel supply chain matures and operational experience increases, these vessels will be ideally positioned to capitalize on ammonia’s potential as an industrial-scale decarbonization lever. *Sources: Global Maritime Forum* --- #### Tag: [Market update](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/tag/market-update) #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/ammonia-advances-as-viable-zero-carbon-fuel) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/ammonia-advances-as-viable-zero-carbon-fuel&text=Ammonia%20Advances%20as%20Viable%20Zero-Carbon%20Fuel) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/ammonia-advances-as-viable-zero-carbon-fuel) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/ammonia-advances-as-viable-zero-carbon-fuel&text=Ammonia%20Advances%20as%20Viable%20Zero-Carbon%20Fueldescription=The%20sector’s%20confidence%20is%20strengthened%20by%20solid%20performance%20metrics%20and%20the%20initiation%20of%20pilot%20bunkering%20projects&media=https://143789414.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/143789414/W34_article_3.jpg) --- #### [Trump's meetings with Putin and Zelensky Previous Post](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/trumps-meetings-with-putin-and-zelensky?hsLang=en) #### [Global Oil Fundamentals Strengthen as Demand Forecasts Rise Next Post](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/global-oil-fundamentals-strengthen-as-demand-forecasts-rise?hsLang=en) --- ## Related Posts It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
