Why MEMA
There is currently no dedicated voice representing both ethanol and methanol in the maritime sector. Advocacy efforts remain fragmented, resulting in duplicative initiatives and missed opportunities.
MEMA was created to unify stakeholders under a credible, science-based platform — driving collaboration across policy, safety, and technology. Together, we aim to support the transition toward low-carbon liquid fuels in line with IMO, ISO, EU Fit for 55, FuelEU Maritime, and other international frameworks.
