Transition to zero and near-zero-emission fuels could create 700 jobs

This shift will also bring health and economic benefits.

The report revealed that the transition to zero and near-zero-emission fuels could create about 700 new job opportunities in the fuels’ production and supply chain by 2030, according to a study by The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), Port of Los Angeles, and Port of Long Beach

The study also forecasted health improvements for local communities and economic benefits for participating countries.

Meanwhile, it estimated the projected annual energy demand of vessels on the corridor at approximately 60,000 terajoules (TJ), equivalent to around two months of Singapore’s national electricity generation.

In addition, the annual shipping demand on the corridor is expected to be around 850,000 tons of methanol and 160,000 tons of ammonia by 2030.

This estimated shipping demand displaces the equivalent GHG emissions from almost 320,000 cars annually.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
