	Methanol as a Marine Fuel *Kjeld Aabo*, Maritime Transport Senior Advisor, Methanol Institute This presentation gives an overview of Methanol potential and application as the CO2 neutral fuel and some thoughts in the gradual marked introduction of the Low carbon Methanol, E-methanol, and Bio Methanol for decarbonization. Kjeld Aabo, Maritime Transport Senior Advisor, Methanol Institute.
	Methanol Superstorage as a shipboard solution Hannes Lilp, CEO and founder, SRC Group Owners chose methanol as the top marine fuel for new ships in 2023, but challenges around storage capacity remain. SRC’s Methanol Superstorage offers an 85% increase in fuel tank volume with minimal impact to general arrangement, gaining Lloyd’s Register Approval in Principle (AiP).
	Cylinder Oil Reuse: A Breakthrough in Marine Engineering Thorbjoern Petersen, Chief Technical Officer and Co-Owner, Smart-Marine Revolutionizing the marine industry by reusing cylinder oil, enabled by effective automatic drain cleaning system — cutting costs and emissions.
