Season 2, Episode 4: Dual-Fuel Engines and the Green Transition with Bjarne Foldager

Navigating Zero - Global Trade’s Powerful Wave of Change

Global trade has not yet reached a consensus on green fuels. However, dual-fuel engines represent a step in the right direction, enabling incremental progress as further research is conducted.

In this episode, Lora Jakobsen, Chief Purpose Activist at ZeroNorth sits down with Bjarne Foldager, Senior Vice President and Head Of Two-Stroke Business at MAN Energy Solutions. Bjarne has worked in shipping for over 30 years, holding senior roles at Maersk Tankers and Maersk Ship Management before joining MAN Energy Solutions.

Bjarne and Lora discuss the current demand for ships with new fuel technologies, the influence of regulation and market demand on the adoption of dual-fuel engines, and the need for technology neutrality when approaching the green transition.

The world is in a climate crisis, and all industries must do their part to reach zero emissions. Maritime trade is critical to today's society but is responsible for roughly 3% of all greenhouse gases. A future where global trade reaches zero emissions is possible. But how do we get there? In this podcast, we're sitting down with thought leaders to explore the inner workings of global trade, its massive impact on our society, and the obstacles it faces while navigating its way to zero.
