Fortescue's Milestone in Green Fuel Economy: First Digital Fuel Certificate for Ammonia Bunkering in Rotterdam
Key Ideas
  • Fortescue, in partnership with Trovio and GH2, successfully issued the first digital fuel certificate for an ammonia-to-ship transfer in Rotterdam, a breakthrough for the green fuel economy.
  • The digital certificate, facilitated by Trovio's CorTenX platform, provides auditable transparency by capturing data on fuel sustainability attributes, enhancing trust in the supply chain.
  • The pilot not only demonstrates the feasibility of ammonia as a marine fuel but also showcases the pivotal role of digital infrastructure in enabling scalability and verification in the energy transition.
  • Trovio's CorTenX platform sets a new standard in environmental markets, supporting secure and interoperable registry systems critical for regulatory compliance and stakeholder trust.
In a groundbreaking achievement for the green fuel economy, Fortescue, Trovio, and the Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2) completed the issuance of the world’s first digital fuel certificate for an ammonia-to-ship transfer in Rotterdam. The collaboration marked a significant step towards tracing and verifying new marine fuels for the energy transition. The digital certificate, issued through Trovio’s CorTenX platform, captured detailed data on the fuel's sustainability attributes, such as its origin and handling, ensuring auditable transparency in the supply chain. This milestone pilot not only showcased the operational viability of ammonia as a marine fuel but also highlighted the crucial role of digital infrastructure in enabling scalability and verification. Fortescue's Head of Green Shipping emphasized the importance of setting new benchmarks in transparency and traceability to advance the adoption of zero-emission fuels. The CorTenX platform, purpose-built for environmental markets, supports secure and regulatory-grade data integrity, underpinning the future of sustainable fuel verification. Overall, this achievement signifies a move towards a greener future in the maritime sector, with digital registries like CorTenX playing a pivotal role in aligning sustainability ambition with market implementation.
