Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) has awarded its first licenses for the supply of green methanol as a marine fuel, marking a pivotal step in the global push to decarbonize the shipping industry. The move, announced on November 24, 2025, positions Singapore as a frontrunner in the adoption of sustainable fuels, with green methanol—composed of waste CO2 and hydrogen produced via renewable-powered electrolysis—offering up to a 65% reduction in carbon emissions compared to conventional marine fuels. This development is not just a local milestone but a signal to the world: the maritime sector, responsible for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, is finally ready to embrace scalable, low-carbon alternatives.
