But with alternative fuels currently costing two to four times more than conventional marine fuels, the pathway to net zero is far from straightforward.\nFrom ammonia and methanol to battery-powered vessels, wind-assisted propulsion and operational efficiencies, the industry is exploring multiple solutions to reduce emissions while keeping global trade moving.\nJenny takes Andy inside the technologies, economics and policies shaping maritime decarbonisation, from the challenge of making alternative fuels commercially viable and the importance of international regulation, through to Australia's opportunity to become a producer and exporter of cleaner marine fuels.\nThe conversation also explores the Australia–East Asia iron ore green shipping corridor, the role of major industry players including Fortescue, and why collaboration between governments, shipowners, fuel producers and cargo owners will be essential to accelerating the transition.\nWith momentum building globally, the question is no longer whether shipping will decarbonise, but how quickly the industry can turn ambition into action.\n \nMeet the Guest\nJenny Ruffell-Smith: Australian Representative, Global Maritime Forum\nJenny Ruffell-Smith is the Australian Representative for the Global Maritime Forum, an independent, not-for-profit organisation working to accelerate the transition to a sustainable maritime industry.\nBased in Brisbane, Jenny works across government, industry and the energy sector to advance maritime...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/QIKjxyMtnzaMwNS35XBfZBFgjh2riCYpMZmhbiY-rkM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MGEy/NjFlNmUwNWEzOWE5/Y2VjYjllMzliOGRl/YTc4MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
