MMM Center and Chile collaborate to boost green fuel production

In The Netherlands, The Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller (MMM) Center for Zero Carbon Shipping and the Chilean Government have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand their collaboration exploring new green corridor opportunities in Chile’s southernmost region to support production of zero-emission fuels.

Under the MoU, the Chilean Ministries of Energy and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping will explore new green corridor opportunities in Magallanes, where the average wind speed is remarkably high, making it an ideal strategic location for the supply of green maritime fuels.

“We are delighted and honored to collaborate closely with the Ministerio de Energía Chile, authorities, and companies to establish Green Shipping Corridors: all the way from green fuel production, updating of ports, shipping powered by green fuels for dedicated cargo owners to enable green supply chains. Chile is showing leadership and has huge opportunities to lead the scale-up of the transition with enormous renewable energy resources,” said Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO at Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Centor for Zero Carbon Shipping.
