3Y Energy hosted an industry session on Green Shipping and Decarbonised Marine Technology at the 15th Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion (ASPACC 2025) in Singapore. The session brought together leading experts from Singapore and across the Asia-Pacific region to share advances in sustainable maritime solutions.
Ms. Pauline Chua from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) outlined Singapore's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, detailing a multi-fuel transition strategy and recent progress in adopting biofuels, methanol, and ammonia.
Prof. Tie Li from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and COSCO SHIPPING's Joint Laboratory for Green and Intelligent Marine Power Systems presented research on ammonia combustion engines, including the retrofit of a 12V diesel engine into an ammonia dual-fuel engine now undergoing sea trials.
Dr. YunTao Chen from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) offered a classification society perspective on alternative fuels and electrification. Dr. Dabiao Wang of Fuda Zijin Hydrogen Power Technology and Fuzhou University reviewed decades of ammonia research, from chemical fertiliser catalysts to ammonia-hydrogen energy systems now being demonstrated across buses, boats, and powertrains in China.
Mr. Jang Yong Yoon from Value Maritime Asia introduced onboard carbon capture technology and its application across different vessel types. Mr. Jack Jones from NYK Line Bulkship highlighted Japan's decarbonisation efforts, including the ammonia-fuelled tugboat Sakigake operating in Tokyo Bay, as well as the Ammonia-Fuelled Medium Gas Carrier and Ammonia Bunkering Vessel projects.
The session drew strong interest from combustion and energy researchers at ASPACC 2025, helping to bridge fundamental research with industry progress. 3Y Energy thanks ASPACC 2025, Prof. Huangwei Zhang, and Prof. Wai Lee Chan for their support in organising the session.
