It\u2019s a testament to Envision\u2019s ability to deliver end-to-end net zero solutions that accelerate the replacement of fossil fuels with green energy in shipping and redefine what\u2019s possible for the broader industrial transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrated bunkering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This operation, completed at COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry\u2019s terminal, highlights how ports can now integrate ammonia bunkering into routine services alongside other alternative fuels including LNG, biofuels and methanol.<\/p>\n<p>The port tugboat involved in the operation&nbsp;has obtained the \u201cAmmonia Fuel Tug\u201d classification from China Classification Society.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s&nbsp;equipped with an advanced ammonia dual-fuel engine and achieves a 91% ammonia substitution rate, significantly reducing fossil fuel dependence and cutting emissions in port operations.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the ammonia fuel used in the operation is certified by both ISCC Plus and Bureau Veritas, with verified low greenhouse gas emissions.
