Quadrise is set to have a direct presence in one of the shipping sector’s more commercially relevant decarbonisation discussions next month, with Chief Executive Officer Peter Borup scheduled to speak at the ship.energy summit in Athens on 2 June 2026.
Borup will take part in session five of the event, titled “Money, money, money: stepping up to finance shipping’s energy transition”. The session focuses less on broad environmental ambition and more on the financial conditions that will determine which technologies, fuels and service providers can progress from discussion to deployment.
The central question for the session is whether access to capital for decarbonisation projects is becoming easier or harder. That issue remains highly relevant for companies operating in and around lower-carbon marine fuels, where regulatory momentum, commercial adoption and financing availability all need to align.
The session will consider whether EU regulation is beginning to create commercial and financial winners. This is an important investor theme because regulation can influence both demand and project timing. If policy frameworks create clearer incentives for shipowners, fuel suppliers and maritime infrastructure providers, companies with credible transition solutions may find a more supportive route to market. Conversely, uncertainty over how regulation is implemented or how revenues are distributed can slow decision-making and increase perceived risk.
Another area of discussion will be whether revenues generated by EU regulatory mechanisms are reaching shipping and other maritime stakeholders. The flow of capital across the value chain can affect the pace at which new fuels and related technologies are tested, financed and adopted. The availability of targeted funding may help reduce the burden on individual companies and customers, while delays or gaps in distribution could leave projects dependent on private capital alone.
