Shell Low Carbon Fuels Sustainability Manager and Ipieca Sustainability of Biofuels Task Force Co-Chair Anne Romeo explains what biofuels are, how they are used, their potential benefits and the sustainability considerations that shape their role in the energy transition.
Ipieca has launched a series of five fact sheets exploring water use and stewardship across technologies and value chains relevant to the energy transition. The series covers natural gas, liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and cooling systems.
The week featured discussions on renewable energy, energy efficiency, cleaner electricity systems, resilient energy infrastructure, energy financing and the role of sustainable fuels in supporting the energy transition. Participants highlighted the importance of integrated approaches that strengthen energy security, affordability and sustainability while accelerating progress towards climate goals.
Held in Singapore from 21-22 September, ahead of SpillAsia 2026, the IMO Research and Development (R&D) Forum brought together regulators, researchers, industry representatives and emergency responders from around the world to examine emerging preparedness and response challenges associated with the maritime energy transition.
The September edition celebrates the power of collaboration, with the IMO-Ipieca Global Initiative reaching 30 years of partnership, Ipieca and OCIMF signing an MoU, and Ipieca members joining forces to advance methane management, lower-carbon solutions and energy security. We also share environmental performance success stories and insights on strengthening worker welfare and social performance.
