NMMA Presents on American Maritime Energy Innovation at Bioeconomy Conference
On March 19, Jeff Wasil, NMMA’s vice president of environmental compliance & marine technology, spoke at the Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. about the importance of strategic maritime fuels and their ability to reduce emissions without compromising range or performance.
This is an opportunity for the U.S. to lead the development of new liquid maritime fuels – a significant American energy source – which will ensure a globally harmonized market for American made recreational boats.
The marine industry not only needs to secure strategic maritime fuels for the long-term viability of the global industry but also needs to improve aging American marina and port infrastructure.
Other topics covered during the panel discussion include fuel standards, vessel compatibility, port infrastructure, lifecycle emissions, and near-term demand signals—highlighting where shipping operators, regulators, and fuel suppliers see practical pathways to deployment. Other panelists included the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Maritime Innovation Coalition.
