Objective

To assess the climate and environmental impact of the selected potential zero-carbon fuels for marine use (incl. hydrogen and ammonia) using life cycle assessment (LCA). 

Approach

The Task consists of an in-depth literature review of the potential environmental impacts of the selected potential zero-carbon marine fuels, a complete LCA from well to wake for the selected fuels in a Nordic context, a comparative study of the life cycle environmental performance of the selected fuels to a range of marine fuels, and a potential update of the life cycle environmental performance of the selected fuels at a later stage of the project.
