IKEM is investigating the land-based regulatory framework for ammonia refueling stations.
The use of ammonia as a fuel is a strategy for decarbonizing shipping that is being investigated and advanced in the CAMPFIRE research project. In the sub-project “Ammonia Bunker Stations”, IKEM analyzes the onshore legal framework for the construction and operation of ammonia refueling stations to supply fuel to shipping. In addition to the ammonia refueling stations themselves, the project focuses primarily on the question of the extent to which concessionaires at ports can be obliged to operate ammonia refueling stations. On the basis of this investigation, legal obstacles to the establishment and operation of ammonia refueling stations will be identified, concrete legal amendment proposals for the further development of the legal framework will be developed, and finally the legal framework conditions for the approval of ammonia-powered inland vessels will be analyzed.
Schäfer, Judith et al.Ammonia as a fuel for the shipping sectorOverview paper on the legal framework. 2022. This paper provides an overview on the legal questions that arise with the use of ammonia as shipping fuel. For this purpose, it presents the legal means regarding the feasibility of ammonia as shipping fuel. Further, it examines the regulatory framework for ammonia bunker stations as critical onshore infrastructure. It also considers the offshore regulations for the use of ammonia as shipping fuel by examining the legal framework for the admission of ammonia-powered inland waterway vessels. |

Schäfer, Judith et al.Ammonia as a fuel for the shipping sectorLegal study on the onshore framework of ammonia-based shipping. Study conducted as part of the CAMPFIRE project. 2021. This study analyses the onshore legal framework for ammonia bunker stations to supply fuel for the shipping sector. Legal barriers to the construction and operation of ammonia bunker stations are identified. This provides recommendations for action and further development proposals for the legal framework with which identified barriers can be overcome. The study focuses on the legal framework for the authorisation and operation of ammonia bunker stations and on aspects of public procurement law regarding the licensing of the construction and operation of ammonia bunker stations. |
