  "account": "The Korean Register (KR) has released the 14th issue of its quarterly Decarbonization Magazine, focusing on marine small modular reactors (SMRs) and the early outcomes of FuelEU Maritime compliance. The magazine explores regulatory frameworks for SMRs, challenges in onboard installation, and safety approval procedures. It also analyzes the first year of FuelEU Maritime compliance, highlighting pooling of compliance balances by ships that fail to meet mandatory greenhouse gas intensity limits. Approximately 92% of ships used pooling in the inaugural year, with compliance surplus prices dropping to about 80% below penalty levels. An interview with Minho Kang, Senior Vice President at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, delves into engine optimization and exhaust aftertreatment technologies, specifically the Methane Oxidation Catalyst System (MOCS). Dr. Kanghyun Song emphasizes the importance of flexibility in decarbonization strategies, as the delay in the IMO Net-Zero Framework creates uncertainty around green technologies, while EU regulations have already taken effect.",
