Apologies if this has already been posted but found the Q&A from this week with Peter for the UK Chamber of Shipping: https://www.ukchamberofshipping.com/news/member-insights-qa-quadrise
Q3. For those less familiar with Quadrise, how would you describe the company’s role in supporting shipping’s decarbonisation journey, especially in the transitional fuels space?
There has been significant investment and courage across shipping to find the next dream fuel, be it methanol or ammonia or nuclear, which is both important and necessary. However, these solutions are not yet widely available or commercially viable at scale in the imminent future.
Shipping has always been commercially driven, and over the past decade, we have already seen improvements in vessel design, operational efficiency, and technologies such as slow steaming, which reduce both fuel consumption and emissions.
Quadrise sits within that immediate, practical space. Our fuels can be used with existing infrastructure, deliver cost savings, and reduce emissions. They are part of a broader toolkit available to shipowners today, rather than something that depends on future infrastructure.
The challenge is that we need to convince the client, the shipowner to use this new fuel and the refineries to give us their residues on a large enough scale, and we are on a path to doing just that.
