About the Project
Supporting MEPC decision-making
The ‘Future Fuels and Technology for Low- and Zero- Carbon Shipping Project (FFT Project)’ is a partnership project between the Government of the Republic of Korea and IMO aiming to support the regulatory decision-making at the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC).
The main aim of the project is to support the implementation of the IMO GHG Strategy through three main workstreams:
Workstream 1
Technical analysis
carrying out global studies and research to support regulatory decision-making at the MEPC and its subsidiary bodies, notably on GHG emissions reduction measures from international shipping.
Workstream 2
Online information hub
facilitate easy access to the latest information on zero and near-zero marine fuels and technologies among stakeholders through the Future Fuels and Technology online information portal.
Workstream 3
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
promote communication and knowledge sharing to foster cooperation and collaboration among stakeholders to support the development of the GHG regulatory framework and the implementation of the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy.
The project was launched in September 2022 and is funded by the Republic of Korea through the Voyage Together Trust Fund, and complemented by IMO GHG TC Trust Fund, as appropriate. For more information about the project please click here.
