The SUPERALFUEL project — the Sustainability of Alternative Fuels in the ADRION area initiative — has announced its first dedicated training course, scheduled for 22 September 2026, in Koper, Slovenia.

The course is aimed at port authorities, shipping companies, researchers, policymakers, public administrations, technology providers and academic institutions operating across the Adriatic-Ionian region.

According to the organisers, the training will address the regulatory, safety and sustainability dimensions of introducing hydrogen, ammonia and methanol into maritime and port operations. The programme includes sessions on the SUPERALFUEL Network of Experts, regulatory gap analysis for alternative marine fuels, sustainability frameworks, safety reporting, quantitative risk assessment and accidental scenario assessment, followed by an interactive discussion with attendees.

The organisers say the training is designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of the regulatory landscape and safety requirements that will govern the deployment of these fuels. Attendees are also expected to gain exposure to emerging risk assessment methodologies and to exchange experience with European experts and organisations active in maritime decarbonisation.

SUPERALFUEL's stated mission is to develop harmonised safety and risk assessment guidelines, build stakeholder capacity through dedicated training, and create a transnational network focused on the safe and sustainable use of alternative marine fuels.
