Argus Green Marine Fuels Europe Conference

* Today's sessions are open to delegates who have booked a 'Conference and Workshop Pass'.

* An optional Bus Tour by the Port of Antwerp is running from 13:15 to 17:00 (limited seats):
Discover the dynamic heart of Europe’s largest integrated chemical cluster during an exclusive bus tour through the Port of Antwerp-Bruges.
This immersive visit takes you deep into the port’s landscape, where innovation and sustainability drive the future of global logistics.
- Pass by the pioneering NextGen District, a hotspot for circular economy and clean-tech initiatives, where tomorrow’s climate solutions will be taking shape.
- Experience operations up close during a unique terminal visit at Advario and gain insight into state-of-the-art storage solutions.
- Explore the hydrogen refuelling station of CMB.TECH, where zero-emission fuel technology is powering the maritime transition.
A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a port in full transformation — where industry meets innovation.

* The evening welcome drinks reception is open to all pass holders.

Morning registration and networking breakfast

Chairperson's opening remarks

Keynote by the Port: Fuel-agnostic port infrastructure: What does it take to enable multi-fuel bunkering?

- How do ports plan for bunkering multiple fuel types?
- Bunkering: What advancements in storage and safety systems are required for ammonia and methanol?
- How do you integrate renewable energy and hydrogen into port operations?

Morning networking and coffee break

The Methane Pathway – LNG, Bio-LNG, and E-Methane: Which offers the most scalable solution for shipping’s decarbonisation?

- How does biomethane compare to LNG in terms of infrastructure compatibility?
- What drives biomethane pricing in Europe vs global markets?
- What documentation and certification are required for compliance?
- Will biomethane remain competitive as e-methane costs decline?

On Ammonia: Advancing the social adoption of ammonia-fueled ships

- What’s the timeline and latest achievements for ammonia-fueled engines?
- How does ammonia compare to other alternative fuels in terms of energy density and engine performance?
- What are the critical safety protocols for ammonia bunkering and onboard handling?
- Practical deployment and development progress of ammonia-fueled ships to date.

Lunch break

On Methanol:

- What are the drivers for methanol demand? What is the role of competing sectors (aviation, road transport) in methanol pricing and availability?
- How competitive is green methanol compared to e-methanol and fossil methanol in current markets?

Which regulatory measures are required to effectively promote the uptake of hydrogen derivatives in the maritime energy mix?

Evening networking and coffee break

Evidence from early deployments: What are the critical safety protocols for fuel bunkering?

- What are the operational hazards of bunkering?
- How do methanol and ammonia compare in terms of handling and storage?
- What training and infrastructure upgrades are required for ports and vessels?
