    Despite rising prices of fossil fuels, they are still highly expensive and not available yet for ships to use. Under the EUʼs draft FuelEU Maritime (FEUM) regulation, the European Parliament proposed in October 2022 to mandate shipping to use at least 2% Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBOs) – aka hydrogen and e-fuels – by 2030.
