This week, Rolls-Royce announced that it has successfully tested the world’s first high-speed marine engine powered exclusively by methanol on its test bench in Friedrichshafen.
Together with its partners in the meOHmare research project, Rolls-Royce says its engineers have therefore reached an important milestone on the road to climate-neutral and environmentally friendly propulsion solutions for shipping.
Also this week, Everllence announced the world’s first conversion of its B&W S90 two-stroke engine to dual-fuel methanol following successful sea-trials on the container ship COSCO Shipping Libra – a milestone for the retrofit market.
But where does methanol stand after the IMO postponed its decision on the Net-Zero Framework at MEPC/ES.2 (held October 14-17)?

“The decision to adjourn by one year should not diminish the significance of the progress achieved so far,” said Felicia Mester, Managing Director for Europe and IMO at the Methanol Institute. “A global framework remains the most effective pathway for a global, coordinated
