Chris Chatterton on the Race for Green Fuels and Making Shipping More Sustainable

Shipping moves something like 80% of the world’s goods, and the global fleet still runs almost entirely on heavy fuel oil. Chris Chatterton has been watching the race to change that — methanol, ammonia, LNG bridge fuels, and the engineering, policy, and capital questions tangled up in each option.

This episode goes deep on what’s actually happening at scale right now (less than you’d think), what would have to be true for ammonia to win (a lot), and what an environmentally honest version of the green-shipping story looks like — neither the marketing pitch nor the cynical take.
