Shipping is “the critical enabler in the world’s transition to low carbon operations and needs Government support to ensure it is at the front of the queue for next-generation fuels” supports ABS.
That was the message from ABS Chairman, President and CEO, Christopher J. Wiernicki to delegates at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, COP26.
It is going to be shipping that will move the next generation of fuels from the centers of production to distribution hubs around the world. Governments need to prioritize shipping. It is not the second show, it should be the main show
Mr. Wiernicki also added that the real future fuel will be a mixture of leadership and cooperation, adding that “no organization, no individual company, has the resources to meet this challenge alone.”
We will need to work together, pool our resources, experience, and knowledge if we are to achieve our sustainability ambitions
ABS, Hyundai Heavy Industries, and Korea Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering also announced two joint development projects (JDPs) during COP26 to develop decarbonization technologies to support global sustainability ambitions. The JDPs address green hydrogen production and offshore carbon capture and storage.
