The Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2), in collaboration with Trovio and Fortescue, has successfully completed the issuance of the world’s first digital fuel certificate for an ammonia-to-ship transfer.
The transaction involved the Fortescue Green Pioneer during a recent fuel transfer operation at the Port of Rotterdam. As informed, the certificate, issued via Trovio’s CorTenX registry platform, marks a breakthrough in the development of systems to trace and verify new marine fuels for the energy transition.
Jon Deane, CEO of Trovio, said the pilot proves CorTenX can serve as the digital backbone of the green fuel transition by automating compliance and accelerating adoption of zero-emission fuels. Meanwhile, Jonas Moberg, CEO of GH2, emphasized the need for systems that not only measure volume but also environmental impact. He said the pilot demonstrates readiness to track key attributes as soon as renewable fuels like e-ammonia reach vessels.
This pilot marks a key step in scaling the infrastructure required for zero-emission fuels. As the first company to complete an ammonia-to-ship fuel transfer with full digital certification, Fortescue is not only advancing the physical deployment of green fuels but also setting new benchmarks for transparency and traceability
… commented Andrew Hoare, Fortescue’s Head of Green Shipping
To remind, in 2024, Fortescue, with the support from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) government agencies, research institutes, and industry partners, conducted the world’s first use of ammonia, in combination with diesel in the combustion process, as a marine fuel onboard the the Fortescue Green Pioneer, in the Port of Singapore.
