Aronnax: Stena’s electric dream, the ammonia report

In the first episode of 2021 we hear about the TransZero Partnership between the Port of Göteborg, Stena Line, Scania and Volvo, especially the decision by the Swedish shipowner to build a pair of battery powered freight and passenger vessels to sail across from the Swedish Port to Denmark. We also look at the potential of ammonia production to meet shipping’s potential demand for the fuel, providing it can be made from renewable hydrogen.
