Journey continues on Veracity, DNV's trusted digital platform.
Alternative Fuels Insight (AFI)
One portal. One common understanding.
The industry is no longer selecting only one decarbonization pathway. It is managing several at once across fuels, technologies, infrastructure and supply. AFI tracks what matters to help you manage it all.
On the AFI portal, you can align stakeholders around a common baseline for planning and investment discussions. Built on DNV’s expertise, AFI connects developments across the maritime and energy value chains. It turns fragmented information into structured, decision-grade insight, enabling you to confidently navigate market developments, benchmark adoption and make informed strategic decisions.
How Alternative Fuels Insight works
Explore future fuel demand
Analyze how alternative fuel uptake is developing across fuel types, ship segments, regions and owners, using structured views that help you compare demand signals and identify where adoption is gaining momentum, giving you the optimum foundation for defensible fuel investments.
Evaluate fuel supply and compliance
Benchmark sustainable fuel production projects by feedstock, capacity, project status and timeline. This gives you a clearer basis for assessing future availability, maturity and alignment with evolving greenhouse gas (GHG) fuel intensity requirements.
Track infrastructure readiness
Follow global developments in bunkering infrastructure, terminals and future availability to assess where supply chains are emerging and where gaps may affect route planning, investment or fuel strategy.
Export and integrate
Download data and insights to support internal analysis, benchmarking and stakeholder discussions. AFI data forms the trusted foundation behind DNV’s Maritime Forecast and Energy Transition Outlook reports, demonstrating how the platform supports both day-to-day decision-making and establishing industry use cases.
From overview to decision-making support
AFI is built for stakeholders who need a consistent baseline to discuss fuel pathways with clarity – both internally and with partners. Premium access unlocks deeper benchmarking, filtering and export, so you can apply AFI insights directly in your planning and investment discussions.
Designed for:
- Shipowners and operators assessing newbuilding, retrofitting and fuel strategy options
- Fuel producers, suppliers and infrastructure players tracking supply readiness and project progress
- Financiers, charterers and authorities seeking a trusted reference point across the value chain
