About Us

We are a global initiative accelerating the shift beyond methane-based marine fuels.

We work across the supply chains of methane-based fuels, including fossil, bio-, and e-LNG, to clarify regulations, technologies, and trends shaping maritime decarbonization.

Engaging with policymakers, financial institutions and investors, and industry leaders, we accelerate the shipping sector’s transition beyond methane.

Our Approach

MARBEM operates through an evidence-based collaborative model designed to ensure credibility, transparency, and shared accountability. This model is guided by 5 key principles.

  • Integrity

    We are driven by data and transparency. Every analysis, recommendation, and partnership is grounded in independent research and credible, verifiable sources. 

  • Collaboration

    Our work extends across the supply chains of methane-based fuels, with policymakers, financiers, and key industry players, to surface insights that enable informed, practical action. 

  • Accountability

    We turn complexity into clarity, ensuring stakeholders understand the real-world implications of methane-based fuels and make evidence-based, accountable decisions with confidence. 

  • Practical Pathways

    We bridge global climate commitments with tangible, scalable solutions for maritime decarbonization – focusing on what works today while preparing for the innovations of tomorrow.

  • Trust

    Our strength lies in our network. We have partnerships with independent experts and organizations worldwide, maintaining impartiality and credibility to accelerate the maritime transition beyond methane.

The MARBEM Secretariat coordinates the Initiative’s strategy, partnerships, and research operations. Acting as the central convenor, the Secretariat ensures transparency, collaboration, and alignment across all organizations and expert partners. The Secretariat Role is currently held by Equal Routes.
