The Getting to Zero Coalition’s annual working session convened in Copenhagen with nearly 100 representatives creating actionable decarbonisation plans.

Nearly 100 representatives from across the maritime industry met in Copenhagen this week to formulate an action plan for decarbonizing the shipping sector. The meeting was organized by the The...

What should maritime stakeholders focus on in the coming years to accelerate maritime decarbonization? At this week’s Getting to Zero Coalition Workshop, participating Coalition members collaborated on detailing out an action plan to make the full decarbonization of shipping concrete and tangible. Participants focused on the combination and acceleration of four change levers: technology on ...

For shipping to decarbonize, fuels need to decarbonize. In order to be on track for full decarbonization by 2050, 5% of shipping fuels must be decarbonized by 2030. This is a tremendous challenge, as shipping falls outside the Paris agreement and, despite pressure from industry, governments and even the UN, there is no agreement on ...

Shipping decarbonization depends on net zero fuels, and ammonia, methanol and biofuels have different roles to help this transition. Lifecycle analysis can help colour scales to measure shipping emissions and compare fuels more equitably. The shipping industry is calling for decisive government action and enabling policy frameworks to scale the use of zero-emission fuels to foster collaboration, deploy a transition strategy and develop green corridors.

There are fuels that can achieve net-zero shipping emissions but scaling up these efforts needs lifecycle analysis, government action and policy frameworks.
