The marine industry at large slowly evolves on fuel transition, as the questions on regulation, technology and finance of emerging technologies cumulatively works to stunt growth. Enter Dave Lee, Executive Director, e1 Marine. Dave Lee is certainly no stranger to advanced marine technology, as he also serves as VP of Innovation and Technology @ Maritime Partners, and held a similar position previously with ABB. Read aoub the e1 Marine plan to effectively enable hydrogen as a marine fuel, helping to pave the path for others to follow.
Maritime’s Future Fuel: Methanol-to-Hydrogen
It’s been said and written time and again: there is no silver bullet solution to the maritime industry’s future fuel conundrum, premised on the not the technology itself, rather the diversity of maritime vessels and routes.
e1 Marine’s approach to hydrogen is pragmatic. Rather than relying on the logistical challenges of traditional hydrogen supply chains, the company leverages methanol—an abundant, widely available commodity. Using advanced reforming technology, e1 Marine converts a methanol and water mixture into fuel cell-grade hydrogen, offering a clean, efficient alternative for maritime applications.
“We’re not just adapting hydrogen for maritime use; we’re engineering a solution that fits seamlessly into the industry’s operational realities,” says Lee.
