The new edition of the ship.energy podcast features Ingrid Irigoyen, Senior Director, Ocean and Climate at the Washington-headquartered Aspen Institute’s Energy and Environment Program, who is also President and CEO of the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA), and Dr Charlie McKinlay, who is the Fuels and Technologies Lead at LR’s Maritime Decarbonisation Hub. The podcast is released to coincide with the launch of ZEMBA’s second tender to shipowners which will focus on 3–5-year off take contracts for e-fuel-powered container shipping, starting in 2027. A key focus of ZEMBA’s work is to make advanced market commitments for innovative fuels and technologies. ZEMBA’s inaugural fuel tender to shipowners was completed in April 2024. Hapag-Lloyd was the winner, and it has been supplying ZEMBA members with bio-LNG. Ahead of its new tender, ZEMBA drew on the expertise of Lloyd’s Register’s Maritime Decarbonisation Hub to send out a request for information to assess the market readiness of e-fuels for commercial deployment in the shipping sector from a 2027 starting point. In the maritime sector, we are hearing a lot about the need for fuel demand signals to catalyse shipping’s energy transition. New or alternative marine fuels – and particularly the very low and zero carbon variants – are expensive to produce, and we are starting from a low base in terms of their scalability and geographical availability. In this podcast, Ingrid and Charlie look at the low and zero carbon fuel demand and supply conundrum, offer their perspectives on how industry collaboration is working in practice to address this, and discuss the latest ZEMBA tender process in detail. Ingrid Irigoyen is the Senior Director, Ocean and Climate, for the Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Program (EEP), where she leads EEP’s work at the ocean-climate nexus and serves as a strategic advisor and facilitator for multi-stakeholder initiatives seeking to address climate, ocean, and coastal challenges. She also serves as the President and CEO of the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA), a non-profit organization and first-of-its-kind buyers group within the maritime sector with the mission to accelerate commercial deployment of clean energy powered shipping, enable economies of scale for new solutions, and support cargo owner engagement in maritime clean energy policy. Prior to joining Aspen in 2018, she was a Senior Mediator and Program Manager at Meridian Institute, where she devoted 13 years to the design and execution of collaborative multi-stakeholder sustainability solutions, with a special focus on oceans and coasts. Prior to this, among other positions, Ingrid was a John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellow with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She holds a Masters of Environmental Management from the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from the University of New Hampshire. More information about the work and membership of ZEMBA can be found at its website: Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance – ZEMBA Dr. Charlie McKinlay is a researcher in the field of maritime decarbonisation and is the Fuels and Technologies Lead at the Lloyd Register’s (LR) Maritime Decarbonisation Hub, where he one of the key team leads for The Silk Alliance Green Corridor Cluster initiative for shipping focused on bunkering alternative fuels in Singapore. Charlie’s professional research expertise focuses on clean maritime fuels, encompassing the whole value chain, from sustainable and scalable supply chains to efficient onboard deployment. Charlie holds a PhD in Dynamic Energy System Modelling from the University of Southampton, where he researched into transition technologies for viable zero emissions shipping solutions, such as fuel cells, energy saving technologies, and smart energy management. The Lloyd’s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub is an independent, not-for-profit social purpose organisation, working towards our vision of a safe, sustainable, and human-centric decarbonised shipping industry for the benefit of society. Formed in 2020 with a grant from Lloyd’s Register Foundation, and in partnership with Lloyd’s Register Group, we are an evidence-led research and action unit. Our team of specialists in economics, fuels, risk & safety engineering, human factors, and analytics deliver research, insights, and implementation pathways to future fuels across the maritime supply chain.
