Press Release: This year’s Setting the Course to Low Carbon Shipping: Zero Carbon Outlook, the fourth in a series of outlooks designed to guide the maritime industry in decarbonization, examines the potential of reaching zero emissions in shipping.
Here are just a few of the key takeaways from Setting the Course to Low Carbon Shipping: Zero Carbon Outlook:
- Regulation of the maritime industry’s emissions is becoming increasingly stringent, with additional measures expected to be implemented in the next few years. The upcoming market-based measures and life-cycle assessment approach are expanding the scope of GHG emissions from tank-to-wake to well-to-wake.
- The path towards net zero will start with drop-in transition fuels, progress with the adoption of carbon capture technologies and eventually lead to adoption of low- and zero-carbon fuels produced using renewable energy.
- Shipping will be a centrepiece for the development of both the hydrogen and carbon value chains. A net zero scenario in 2050 would probably require energy for green hydrogen production which is equal to half of the renewable energy production in 2021.
