EPA Fortifies Domestic Fuel Supply, Provides Americans with Relief at the Pump by Approving Nationwide E15 and Removing Boutique Fuel Markets for E10

(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, in consultation with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and in accordance with the Clean Air Act (CAA), issued a temporary emergency fuel waiver to allow nationwide sales of E15, gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol, and to remove all federal impediments to selling E10, gasoline blended with 10 percent ethanol, across the country. Through the waiver, EPA is fortifying the domestic gasoline supply chain and providing Americans relief at the pumps ahead of the summer driving season.

Beginning on May 1, 2026, EPA’s waivers will work to prevent disruption in America’s fuel supply by keeping E15 on the market and giving Americans more fuel options. EPA is issuing the waiver notice today to allow fuel industry stakeholders adequate time to transition the fuel distribution system. As required by the CAA, EPA and DOE evaluated the current situation and determined that granting the waiver was in the public interest. 

“EPA is working with our federal partners to reduce unnecessary costs and uncertainty and ensure that gas prices remain affordable for all Americans through the summer. This emergency action will provide American families with relief by increasing fuel supply and consumer choice,” said EPA Administrator Zeldin. “President Trump has prioritized ensuring American families have an affordable domestic energy supply. The Trump Administration has made great strides on this during the first year and will continue to do so.”

“President Trump is unleashing American Energy Dominance, and today’s action will directly lower prices at the pump and gives a clear demand signal to our domestic biofuels producers. Allowing the summer sale of E-15 will provide drivers more options at the pump, and deliver a bigger domestic market for American farmers,” said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins. “While today’s announcement is great news for farmers, year-round E-15 is essential for the farm economy, and Congress needs to find a common sense solution that provides much needed certainty to consumers and farmers. Once again, Administrator Zeldin and President Trump’s cabinet is delivering for our great American farmers. Our energy security is truly a national security priority, and our nations corn farmers are a key part of the solution.” 

EPA is committed to doing its part to ensure available supply of fuels and lower the cost of energy for American families, farmers and manufacturers by reducing our reliance on imported fuels and bolstering U.S. energy independence through the cutting of burdensome red tape and commonsense rulemaking. 

The emergency fuel waiver will temporarily waive the summer low volatility requirements and blending limitations for gasoline to provide additional flexibility to the fuel marketplace. This will increase fuel supply and provide a variety of gasoline fuel blends to choose from without changing environmental protections already in place. E15 is currently offered at over 3,000 gas stations nationwide, where it serves as a more affordable choice for Americans. Without this action, E15 gasoline cannot be used by roughly half of the country this summer. Additionally, EPA is also waiving federal enforcement of all state “boutique” fuel requirements for gasoline, allowing the production and distribution of gasoline with 9 to 15 percent ethanol content at a single common Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) standard of 10 psi across the nation. EPA’s actions will go into effect on May 1, 2026, for most states, and will initially remain in place through May 20, 2026. This 20-day window is the maximum number of days allowed under the CAA. 

EPA will continue to monitor the fuel supply with industry and federal partners. The agency will be ready to extend the emergency fuel waivers as long as the fuel supply circumstances warrant such action. Key pillars of EPA’s Powering the Great American Comeback initiative are restoring American energy dominance and cooperative federalism. The agency looks forward to working with our state partners to ensure applicable state requirements are waived and that Americans are provided with the upmost benefits from the Trump administration’s actions.

Excerpt from Polticio Pro Greenwire: The Trump administration's decision to lift restrictions on the sale of higher-ethanol fuel again this summer could help soften the blow of higher gas prices — but it’s not the big win the biofuels industry has been seeking.

Every year since 2022, EPA has used an emergency waiver through the Clean Air Act to allow gas stations to sell E15 fuel in summer. But allowing those sales permanently is up to Congress, where a deal appears close yet still elusive.

...

In declaring an emergency, EPA again cited market disruptions that demand temporary solutions. During the Biden administration, the war in Ukraine drove the issue, now it’s the war in the Middle East and Iran’s threats against ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. READ MORE

 

Excerpt from The Hill: The move comes as the average U.S. price of gasoline is about $3.98 per gallon, which is $1 per gallon higher than where it was a month ago because of supply disruptions the conflict has caused. 

The Iran war has effectively halted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil typically flows.

Trump administration officials described the move as part of an effort to bring down prices.

...

Analysts recently told The Hill, however, that the Trump administration’s policy levers for bringing down prices are limited — and the only way to massively cut the price is to reopen the strait. 

The E15 issue is one that is more regional rather than partisan — corn-belt Democrats and Republicans alike tend to support reducing restrictions on biofuels, while Republicans from oil-producing states have been critical of expanded uses of E15, as have many environmental groups.

A push to permanently allow summer sales of E15 briefly held up a government funding bill earlier this year, though such measures ultimately did not make it into law.

Ethanol supporters praised the Trump administration’s move but also called for permanent sales of high-ethanol gas all year.

...

Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) said in a statement that “this is not a long-term solution, and it is far past time for Congress to make this permanent.”

The biofuels lobby also praised the announcement. 

“With geopolitical conflict roiling energy markets worldwide, we applaud President Trump and Administrator Zeldin for acting quickly and decisively to combat potential fuel shortages and help keep a lid on gas prices this summer,” said Geoff Cooper, president and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, in a statement. READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Reuters: The oil ​industry's top trade group, the ​American Petroleum Institute, also ⁠welcomed the announcement.

"By temporarily easing summer fuel requirements, this action helps ensure American consumers continue to have access to affordable, reliable energy," said Will Hupman, API's ​vice president of downstream policy. READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Brownfield Ag News: Troy Bredenkamp, the senior vice president of government and public affairs with the Renewable Fuels Association, says while the organization is appreciative of the move, it doesn’t replace the need for a permanent fix.

“This is just a band-aid and a temporary solution,” he says. “The corn market needs certainty.”

Matt Zeigler, director of public policy and renewable fuels with the National Corn Growers Association, says the conflict in the Middle East has put additional pressure on the energy market.

“It’s a relief value for folks right now with fuel costs up, but we want to make this law to really see the growth in E15 sales that we’re hoping for,” he says.

American Farm Bureau president Zippy Duvall says permanent sales of E15 fuel blends could increase demand for U.S. corn farmers by 2.4 billion bushels per year. 

Brian Jennings, CEO of the American Coalition for Ethanol, tells Brownfield this is the fifth year of emergency fuel waivers and states don’t need a patchwork of regulations.

“EPA only has the authority to issue these emergency waivers on a twenty-day rolling basis,” he says. “We expect that they will continue to re-issue those during the summer 2026 driving season.”

U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, says Congress must act soon to ensure long-term energy security.

The EPA action also permanently removed all barriers on E10 across the country.

Sales of nationwide E15 will initially begin on May 1st and will remain in effect until May 20th.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from AgWeb: E10 Emergency Waivers
EPA also announced E10 emergency waivers for the seven Midwest states that already had E15 waivers to remove all federal impediments to selling E10 and provide parody for the two ethanol blends.

According to Bredenkamp, “If they give an E15 waiver for the summer driving season in those seven states, you wouldn’t have a waiver necessarily for E10. So, they have to in those seven states grant an emergency waiver for E10 as well in order to keep maximum fuel fungeability within all fuel pumps within the United States.”

E15 Legislation Needed
However, emergency waivers can’t replace a permanent Congressional fix.

So, farm state lawmakers hope for passage of an E15 bill to make this the last year for the emergency waivers including Sen. Joni Ernst - Iowa (R).

“We’ve done this for a number of years and it’s kind of the same old same old and I am grateful for the waiver. I think that is very important to be able to offer uh the product the way we do through those summer months. But we really do need the administration to assist us with this,” she says.

Ernst says the biggest hurdle for passage is still the refiners and she’s talked to leadership in the administration to urge President Trump to signal to small and mid-level refineries that E15 needs to happen.

E15 a Win Win
Bredenkamp says permanent law would provide certainty for the ethanol industry.

“That would resolve the Midwest state opt- out issue. That would resolve year- round E15. Everyone would know what the game plan is every year moving forward. retailers would have the market certainty that they need to offer it. the corn growers would have uh a demand driver moving forward. That’s what everyone needs.”

And Ernst says consumers would also win at the pump.

“Especially as we see sky high levels of fuel prices. We know we can drop that immediately with E15.”  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Renewable Fuels Association: The lower-cost, American-made E15 blend is legally approved for use in more than 95 percent of vehicles on the road today, according to the EPA. Drivers typically save 10-40 cents per gallon when filling up with E15, saving the typical household hundreds of dollars on their annual fuel bill.

The EPA took similar emergency action in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and the EPA allowed retailers to continue selling E15 in 2021 following an adverse court decision in a lawsuit brought against President Trump by the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers.

RFA on March 9 urged the White House to take action earlier than usual to allow summertime sales of E15, among other steps, to help blunt the effects of Mideast turmoil on American consumers. As of this morning, E15 had been selling an average of 28 cents per gallon less than regular gasoline, an 8.6 percent discount, according to real-time tracking at RFA’s website reporting prices of ethanol blends.

While today’s EPA announcement is good news for American families, a permanent legislative solution allowing year-round E15 is still needed, Cooper said. “For the economic and energy security benefits of E15 to be fully realized, the marketplace needs stability and long-term certainty,” he said. “Consumers, fuel producers, and farmers alike desperately need Congress to pass legislation that would deliver permanent year-round access for E15 and finally break the cycle of ad hoc, stop-gap emergency waivers.”

American voters have also registered overwhelming support for permanent, year-round access to E15. A survey taken last week of more than 2,000 registered voters, by Morning Consult, indicates that 71 percent of those polled support efforts to increase the availability of E15, up two percentage points from a December survey. And two-thirds of voters (66 percent) support the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act. This is up three points from December.

These strong numbers are amplified by removing the respondents who reported not knowing or having an opinion, Cooper noted. Of voters expressing an opinion, 85 percent support the U.S. increasing the availability of E15 to help lower fuel prices and support energy independence, and 82 percent support the E15 legislation.   READ MORE

Authorities Tout Biofuel as Global Oil Prices Soar

by Yuthana Praiwan (Bangkok Post) ... Energy authorities are stepping up efforts to expand biofuel usage to reduce reliance on oil imports and safeguard against potential fuel shortages.

The move comes as global oil prices surge, driven by the ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran.

Officials are also considering reviving the historic “han song (meaning divided by two)” energy conservation campaign, which decades ago encouraged households and businesses to cut energy consumption.

Biofuel boost

Veerapat Kiatfuengfoo, energy deputy permanent secretary, said a special panel had been established to address energy security concerns. The panel is tasked with finding ways to extend the country’s oil reserves by increasing the blending of biofuels with petrol and diesel.

...

To maximise the reserves, officials are promoting greater use of biofuels — ethanol derived from molasses and cassava, and methyl ester produced from palm oil.

Diesel sold in Thailand is blended with 5% methyl ester (B5), while petrol is mixed with ethanol at levels of 10% (E10) and 20% (E20).

Authorities are considering raising the methyl-ester proportion in diesel to 10%, though this measure will only be implemented if oil prices climb above US$90 per barrel.

Currently, the price of methyl ester stands at 35 baht per litre, compared to the ex-refinery price of diesel at 20 baht per litre.

For petrol, the department plans to encourage wider adoption of E20 gasohol.

This initiative aligns with a proposal from Global Green Chemicals Plc (GGC), the biochemical arm of PTT Global Chemical Plc, which has urged Thailand to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

“We expect agricultural produce to help Thailand get through this energy crisis,” said Kridsada Prasertsuko, managing director of GGC.

...

However, ethanol prices remain high at 17 to 18 baht per litre, compared with 20 baht per litre for petrol, which is the ex-refinery price before levies and taxes.

To make E20 more attractive, the department proposed using the Oil Fuel Fund to subsidise its price, nudging motorists to switch from E10.

Most vehicles compatible with E20 are models manufactured from 2007-2008 onwards, particularly eco cars and newer models produced after 2010. READ MORE

Excerpt from ABC Rural:  In short:

The escalating conflict in Iran has seen hundreds of oil tankers stranded in the closed Strait of Hormuz.

Australia's sugar industry says a national ethanol mandate would help shield motorists from rising prices.

The federal government has already pledged $1.1 billion to accelerate the production of low-carbon liquid fuels in Australia.

As the war in Iran intensifies, Australia's sugar industry says a national ethanol mandate could help shield motorists from future market shocks.

Retail fuel prices surged just days after the conflict started, prompting criticism from peak motoring bodies and catching the attention of the consumer watchdog.

But as Energy Minister Chris Bowen assured motorists there was no need to panic buy the Australian Sugar Manufacturers chief executive Ash Salardini said the vulnerability at the heart of the country's fuel supplies had been exposed.

"Australia probably has some of the lowest reserves of liquid fuel in the world," he said.

"We have about 30 days of diesel and 30 days of petrol, and similar amounts for aviation fuel as well."

Along with other members of the sugar industry he has called for a national mandate to drive more fuel production at home.

...

Currently only New South Wales and Queensland require fuel suppliers to blend it into unleaded petrol or diesel.

They are also the states home to the two largest ethanol suppliers — grain producer Manildra Group and Wilmar Sugar and Renewables.

A national mandate would extend that requirement to retailers in all states and while that would not eliminate Australia's need to import fuel, Mr Salardini said it would reduce the volume.

...

Wilmar Sugar and Renewables' parent company is headquartered in Singapore.

The tiny nation supplies the bulk of Australia's liquid fuels, though South Korea, China and Japan are also key sources.

The company's distillery at Sarina in North Queensland produces about 60 million litres of bioethanol a year, but even general manager James Wallace said it runs below capacity.

"We've got to look at the economics of our facilities and at the moment it isn't economical for us to continue to make more ethanol," he said.

"With the lack of government support, policy and mandate there is no money in our ethanol production at the moment."

The company sources the molasses for the distillery from its eight sugar mills, like the Invicta Mill at Giru, south of Townsville.

...

When NSW introduced its ethanol mandate in 2007, then-prime minister John Howard ruled out taking it national.

Almost two decades later and with a fifth of the world's oil supply stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, Member for Kennedy Bob Katter asked the current prime minister if he would reconsider.

"Fuel security is really important, and it's essential as well that we make more things here," Mr Albanese told parliament.

"The principle … that we need to be more resilient and more self-reliant here is not only something that I support in theory, we are putting it in place in practice."

Last year the federal government announced it would invest $1.1 billion to accelerate the production of low-carbon liquid fuels in Australia.   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Bloomberg:  Disruptions to crude oil supplies wrought by the conflict are boosting the appeal of crop-based biofuels, lifting demand for vegetable oils and corn. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a major conduit for the fertilizer trade — has also sent crop nutrient prices soaring as farmers rush to secure supplies. At the same time, wartime food security concerns may prompt some countries to build stockpiles of staples such as wheat.

Palm oil initially jumped as much as 10% — the most since 2022 — before paring some gains. Chicago futures of soybean oil, palm’s closest substitute, rose as much as 5%, up for an 11th day and headed for the longest run of gains since 2008. Wheat, corn and soybean prices also climbed higher.

Chicago Soyoil Surges as Iran War Boosts Biofuel Demand

Conflict threatens tighter supply across agricultural markets  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Pro Farmer:  War in Iran raises crop prices worldwide… ”Palm oil prices surged as much as 10%, soybean oil jumped and wheat neared a two-year peak as the war in the Middle East drove energy and fertilizer costs higher and threatened to tighten supplies across agricultural markets,” Bloomberg reported overnight. “Disruptions to crude oil supplies wrought by the conflict are boosting the appeal of crop-based biofuels, lifting demand for vegetable oils and corn. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a major conduit for the fertilizer trade — has also led to a spike in the price of crop nutrients as farmers rush to secure supply. In addition, wartime food security concerns could spark some countries to stock up on staples like wheat,” said the report. Palm oil prices jumped the most since 2022, when top grower Indonesia halted exports. “Grain and oilseed markets are following energy in early Monday trading,” said Joe Davis, director at Futures International, a brokerage. “The macro and energy markets will continue to lead ag commodities on any escalation of the war on Iran,” he said and as reported by Bloomberg. Vegetable oils and meal in China also surged on Monday. The most actively traded soybean meal futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange rallied as much as 6% to 3,066 yuan per ton while palm also rose to hit a daily limit. Rapeseed oil and meal did the same in Zhengzhou.

Stagflation concerns grip stock, financial markets… Optimism for a quick resolution of the conflict in the Middle East is rapidly ebbing in financial markets, with investors pricing in a deeper and longer-lasting supply shock, Bloomberg reports. “The shift in market sentiment gathered pace after President Trump said parts of Iran had yet to be attacked and that $100 crude was ‘a very small price to pay’ for ‘safety and peace,’ undercutting hopes the conflict would be relatively contained. Investors have had to increase their probability of the worst-case scenario, with the challenge being the stagflationary nature of the shock, and are now bracing for a long winter with no clear timeline of an end to it,” said the report. Meantime, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said lengthy hostilities in the Middle East would risk hitting markets and economies, while throwing up unexpected challenges that require policymakers to prepare for a “new normal.” Georgieva said a 10% increase in energy prices persisting for a year would push global inflation up by 40 basis points and slow economic growth.

Excerpt from Illinois Farm Policy News Summary: Reuters’ Naveen Thukral and Ed White reported that “the world’s farmers face soaring fertilizer and fuel prices as the war in the Middle East escalates, leaving some ​scrambling for supplies as the spring planting season approaches.”

“Prices in the United States, which imports much of its fertilizer ⁠needs despite a large domestic industry, rose at the war’s outbreak,” Thukral and White reported.  “Prices for fertilizer jumped from $516 per metric ton on Friday to up to $683 at the import hub of New Orleans on Thursday. Prices could jump higher ​if the Persian Gulf closure persists and shipments can’t make it in time for spring planting, analysts told Reuters. ‘Literally, this could not happen at a worse time of the year,’ said StoneX analyst Josh Linville.”

“Seth Meyer, former U.S. ​Department of Agriculture chief economist and now at the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, said farmers might alter crop choices and fertilizer applications due to the price spike,” Thukral and White reported. “Farmers need fertilizers for virtually all their crops if they want a good yield, but each crop and the soil they are grown in have different demands. Farmers could cut back on corn, which requires high rates of nitrogen fertilizer, or else sharply reduce fertilizer application rates, Meyer said.” READ MORE

 

Excerpt from E&E News Climatewire: But analysts say the disruption is already baked into oil and gas prices, threatening to prolong higher gasoline prices further into the midterm elections.

Here are five reasons high oil prices might persist:

It’s physical

The war on Iran has already disrupted the Gulf region’s energy markets so significantly that a quick recovery is no longer possible, said Anas Alhajji, a global energy markets expert. A mounting backlog of tankers on both sides of the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively shut down for more than a week, will take at least two weeks to clear. Then there will need to be a return to oil and gas production in a growing number of Middle Eastern countries that have now been shut down, including Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Some of the damage from Iranian attacks, such as those on Qatar’s natural gas facilities, cannot be easily repaired, he said.

...

It takes two to tango

Trump may have started the war — but he doesn’t have the power to unilaterally end it.

...

It could get worse

...

The longer the strait is effectively closed, the greater the chance the world tips toward a “deep recession,” said Greg Priddy, an expert on energy market disruption who worked at the U.S. Energy Information Administration in the George W. Bush administration. He said it would take more than a month to get back to normal if the war were to stop today, but that there will not be “normal tanker traffic as long as Iran has weapons to throw at tankers.”

Priddy, who is now a senior fellow at the conservative Center for the National Interest, said keeping the current volume off the market for another seven weeks would cause a major global economic contraction so severe that it would create “probably the worst recession that anyone has seen since the 1930s.”

It’s not just mines

The attacks on energy infrastructure from Iran and potentially other groups are widening by the day and have the potential to create lasting damage.

...

It’s not just Iran

...

That has created a wider network of groups that are willing to attack oil interests in the region, he (Anas Alhajji, a global energy markets expert) said, and there is evidence that they may already be preparing attacks. Cheap drones could be used to damage multimillion-dollar oil tankers.

“They are angry because their leader got killed,” Alhajji said. “The technology in the last 15 years has advanced to the extent that to cause multimillion-dollar damage with $500 is very possible.”  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Pattaya Mail: Energy Minister Auttapol Rerkpiboon has outlined government measures to stabilize fuel prices and reduce reliance on crude oil imports amid ongoing pressure on global energy markets. The government is using the Oil Fuel Fund to help manage diesel prices in cooperation with fuel traders while allowing limited adjustments in line with market conditions.

Authorities are also encouraging greater use of biofuels to reduce dependence on imported petroleum. Price incentives have been introduced to encourage motorists to switch to E20 gasoline, with stronger support provided for E20 than for E10. As a result, the price difference between the two fuels has widened, encouraging drivers to choose E20, which contains a higher share of domestically produced biofuel.

The Ministry of Energy has also adjusted diesel specifications from B5 to B7, increasing the biodiesel content from 5 percent to 7 percent to expand the use of palm-oil-based fuel in the country’s energy supply. In addition, the government is promoting energy-saving practices such as setting air-conditioning temperatures at 26 to 27 degrees Celsius, reducing electricity use in offices, encouraging remote work and online meetings, and maintaining vehicles to improve fuel efficiency.

Officials stated that Thailand is not experiencing a fuel shortage, although recent panic buying has temporarily increased demand at some service stations. Authorities urged the public not to stockpile fuel, warning that excessive purchases can create distribution pressure and safety risks. The government is also working to secure additional supply sources, expand oil reserves, and review fuel import standards in order to strengthen national energy security. (NNT)   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Bangkok Post: Over the medium to long term, he said the government should diversify energy import sources to reduce risk, while also accelerating the development of alternative energy and promoting wider public adoption.

Alternative energy accounts for less than 20% of Thailand's total energy usage, compared with around 50% or more in advanced economies.

...

ADOPTING BIOFUELS

Energy officials are working on a plan to lift biofuel consumption as Thailand seeks to reduce its reliance on imported oil, with supply disruptions marring the industry.

The Department of Energy Business (DOEB) said the plan could include making biofuel use mandatory, a move considered urgent if the war continues through the Songkran festival in mid-April.

Sarawut Kaewtathip, director-general of the DOEB, said officials are considering whether to require greater use of ethanol -- a biofuel produced from sugar cane and cassava -- or rely solely on pricing mechanisms to encourage motorists to switch to gasohol blends with higher ethanol content.

The Thai Sugar Millers Corporation promoted use of gasohol E20, which contains 20% ethanol, as the country's primary fuel, which could cut crude oil imports by 2.9 million litres per day, or nearly 1.06 billion litres annually. Energy officials aim to encourage wider use of E20 by keeping its price lower than gasohol 91 and 95, which contain only 10% ethanol.

Officials are also examining hiking the proportion of palm oil-derived methyl ester in diesel fuel to expand biodiesel use, but the move would affect palm oil producers, methyl ester manufacturers and diesel vehicle owners.

An Energy Ministry source who requested anonymity noted diesel engines are designed for a 10% methyl ester blend, and higher proportions could risk engine damage.

The DOEB recently announced a temporary increase in the methyl ester blending ratio in diesel fuel from 5% to 7% by volume for three months, from March 14 to June 13, 2026. The measure follows a resolution by the Energy Policy and Planning Administration on March 9 meant to mitigate fuel price volatility and reduce oil imports amid global market instability.

Issuance of the Research Report: "Safety Considerations for Hydrogen-Fueled Ships".

(KoreanRegister)  In response to the tightening environmental regulations in the international shipping sector, various alternative fuels are being adopted both domestically and internationally. Among these, hydrogen is a carbon-free, ecofriendly fuel and a key alternative for maritime decarbonization. Furthermore, as hydrogen serves as a primary feedstock for producing other alternative fuels like methanol, the hydrogen-based fuel supply chain is projected to expand significantly. Consequently, with the rise in international hydrogen transport and trade, demand for hydrogen carriers and hydrogen-fueled ships is expected to increase. In September 2025, the draft Interim Guidelines for the safety of ships using hydrogen as fuel were developed during the 11th session of the Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC). This draft is scheduled for final approval at the 111th Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) in May 2026. This will mark the establishment of the first international safety regulations for ships using compressed gaseous hydrogen and liquefied hydrogen as fuel, which is expected to accelerate the development and commercialization of hydrogen-fueled ships globally. Despite these advancements, hydrogen possesses hazardous characteristics distinct from conventional fuels—such as high flammability, explosiveness, cryogenic temperature, and hydrogen embrittlement. These factors require specialized safety considerations; however, the industry's understanding of these risks remains insufficient. Accordingly, the Korean Register has published this research report to support the commercialization of hydrogen fuel and to enhance the maritime industry's understanding. This report covers an introduction to maritime hydrogen systems, analysis of hydrogen-related accident cases, identification of hydrogen hazards, and risk mitigation measures. We hope this document serves as a valuable reference for those working in the shipbuilding and shipping industries. *This document was prepared based on 2025 standards; therefore, should relevant standards be revised in the future, the most up-to-date regulations must be applied.  READ MORE
