In an interview with Maritime Fairtrade, Edwin Khew, chairman of the Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS), deconstructs the profile of different alternative fuels and how decarbonization progress can be pushed ahead.
European shipowners and fuel producers join forces and launch Clean Maritime Fuels Platform
Access to clean maritime fuels is a top priority for the decarbonisation of the shipping sector.
Green jobs and maritime decarbonisation
The transition to scalable zero-emission marine fuels has the potential to create up to four million jobs across the energy supply chain by 2050
Is contributing to a just and equitable transition that leaves no state behind an empty slogan?
The International Maritime Organization’s 2023 Revised Strategy for reduction of emissions from ships includes provisions which direct a just and equitable transition.
