The European Commission, the EU s executive arm, is set to present its green fuel law for EU shipping on Wednesday. It is part of a broader package of reforms designed to meet the bloc s updated climate targets.
To be sure, the EU has committed to reducing net carbon emissions by 55% (when compared to 1990 levels) through to 2030, becoming climate neutral by 2050. The EU says this will require a 90% reduction in transport emissions over the next three decades.
To meet these targets, the EU plans to undergo the biggest revamp of its Emissions Trading System since the policy launched in 2005. Already the world s largest carbon trading program, the ETS is now widely expected to expand to include shipping for the first time.

In South Korea, the Aju Business Daily newspaper reports that the Agency for Defense Development has successfully produced palm oil-based aviation biofuel following four years of research. The test facility can produce 5 metric tons of SAF annually using a solid catalyst. The research was driven by IATA’s push to increase the transition to SAF. The fuel produced was tested to see if it complied with ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation. Currently, the country produces biodiesel from 160,000 tons of used cooking oil annually.
