David Griffiths, Claims Executive of UK P&I Club states that to enable decarbonisation of shipping by 2050, in alignment with the Paris Agreement temperature goals, zero emission fuels need to make up 5% of international shipping fuels and 15% of domestic shipping fuels by 2030.

According to International Council on Clean Transportation, the initial strategy of IMO to cut GHG emissions by only 50% by 2050 wasn’t compatible with the Paris Agreement’s aim to limit global warming.

Speakers at Unlocking Green Maritime Jobs panel-discussion (3-5th May 2023) outlined the growing demand for seafarers able to handle low and zero-carbon fuels and new technologies that will be needed in order to progress towards a decarbonized maritime shipping sector by 2050.

The Climate Change Authority of Australia has published a report in which it highlights the importance of oil and carbon capture and storage in reducing emissions.

This week, Chevron presented it's take on carbon capture and storage (CCS) through the practice of storing it permanently underground to keep it from reaching the atmosphere.

UMAS released a report earlier this week which studies how unlocking much greater efficiency improvement is key to aligning shipping to 1.5ºC by 2030.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) published the World Energy Transitions Outlook 2023 report to assess the energy landscape's progress toward meeting the Paris Agreement goals.

A new insight brief series was released this week from the Global Maritime Forum which identifies four actions that maritime and shipping industries can take now to support shipping’s transition to a sustainable and resilient zero-emission future.

NGO Opportunity Green supports a GHG levy with a starting price of $100/tonne of CO2 equivalent emissions to aid the International Maritime Organization's emissions strategy.

The maritime industry must take immediate collective action on an unprecedented scale to bring the decarbonization of the industry closer to the Paris 1.5°C trajectory, states the Maritime Decarbonization Strategy, a new report published today by the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping.
