In an effort to promote sustainable energy practices and reduce emissions in the maritime industry, a partnership agreement was recently signed by Iverson eFuels, Port of Stavanger, ASCO Norge, and St1 in Stavanger, Norway. The collaboration is focused on establishing a green ammonia hub in the region, with the aim of making green ammonia readily available for ships calling at the Port of Stavanger. This initiative is seen as a significant step towards a more sustainable future for shipping operations and aims to position Stavanger as a key player in the energy transition. The partners involved in the agreement bring together their expertise and resources to create a complete value chain for the production, storage, distribution, and use of green ammonia. By leveraging their collective strengths, the partners intend to facilitate the adoption of green ammonia as a clean fuel alternative, potentially making a large portion of the shipping fleet emission-free. Key stakeholders, including Eivind Hornnes from Port of Stavanger and Hege Økland from Iverson eFuels, expressed optimism about the potential of green ammonia to transform the maritime industry and drive sustainable practices. The Port of Stavanger will play a crucial role as a bunkering port for green ammonia, facilitating the bunkering process and supporting the transition to cleaner energy sources. The partnership will focus on establishing industry standards, creating the necessary infrastructure such as storage tanks and bunkering facilities, conducting risk assessments, and promoting awareness and knowledge about green ammonia as a viable fuel option. By working together, the partners aim to accelerate the energy transition in the maritime sector and encourage investments in ammonia-powered vessels. Overall, the collaboration between Iverson eFuels, Port of Stavanger, ASCO Norge, and St1 heralds a positive shift towards sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in the shipping industry, setting the stage for a greener future in Norway's maritime sector.
