Amid an increasing interest in carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a promising green technology to address CO2 emissions from shipping, maritime transport is expected to dominate the CCS value chain, which is forecast to lead to a growing demand for liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carriers. In this value chain, liquefied CO2 carriers play an essential role in transporting liquefied CO2 to the sites where it is stored and/or utilized.

TotalEnergies published a new white paper expects global marine fuel consumption to increase to around 46 Petajoules (PJ)/d by 2050, with oil-based and LNG bunker fuels still accounting for about 21 PJ/d of demand.

MAGPIE (sMArt Green Ports as Integrated Efficient multimodal hubs) wants to make a breakthrough in the supply and use of green energy carriers in transportation from, to and within ports.

RightShip launched a toolset for monitoring, measuring, and benchmarking shipping-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The Second Container Terminal of Tianjin Port, which the world’s first zero-carbon terminal, has received the “Carbon Neutrality Certificate” by the China Classification Society.

Maersk Tankers is establishing a knowledge hub focusing on decarbonisation. The hub will gather intelligence and create solutions to help shipowners and cargo customers cut emissions.

A report prepared by UMAS for the Getting to Zero Coalition, called “Closing the Gap“, outlines policy measures that could close the competitiveness gap between fossil fuels and zero-emission alternatives in shipping.

As shipping is exploring its potentials to meet ongoing environmental requirements, batteries are seen as an attractive opportunity.

Port of Barcelona started the bidding process for the pilot project for electricity supply on ships in order to reduce CO₂ emissions by 50%.

Maersk announced new aspiring emissions targets expected to align the company with the pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C. What is more, the company aims to achieve net zero supply chains to customers by 2040.
