Global shipping finance portfolio moves closer to alignment with net zero climate goals
ontinued growth of climate transparency from financial institutions show that the global finance portfolio for shipping has moved closer to alignment with ambitious decarbonisation trajectories set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), aiming to remove emissions from international shipping by 2050.
Ship energy savers, top to bottom
With low- and zero-carbon fuels not available at scale, shipowners can look to wind-assisted propulsion systems and silicone-based antifoulings to generate significant fuel and emissions savings
New report shows that Green Shipping Corridors will need additional support under a global fuel standard
Report from UMAS, UCL and GMF illustrates how green shipping corridors could benefit from a global fuel standard and regional policies, but that additional support would be needed to drive early adoption
Fueling the future: Where we stand with alternatives
The decarbonization of shipping, driven by international and regional emissions regulations, has led to the development and adoption of alternative fuels in the industry.
