UCL Energy Institute: Methanol and LNG investments may hinder transition
A new academic study by UCL Energy Institute argues that current investments in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and methanol-fuelled ships may hinder, rather than help, the transition to zero-emission shipping.
The “When is a stepping stone a dead-end? Insights into ‘stepping stone’ pathways from the maritime shipping transition” paper, submitted to Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, introduces a framework to distinguish between “stepping stones,” meaning technologies that build capabilities for a future clean system, and “dead ends” that reduce emissions temporarily but lock industries into fossil-fuel infrastructure.
