Q&A: BV sees CCS use in shipping picking up
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) in shipping will likely become more common in the next few years as an interim decarbonisation measure for the maritime industry, along with its shift towards using cleaner fuels.
Shipping starts important negotiations on the road to climate goals
A proposal from Norway and others is causing concern in several camps ahead of this week’s meeting of the IMO’s climate committee.
IMO’s 2030 and 2040 GHG reduction targets now explicitly linked to fuel standard, whilst momentum builds on a universal GHG price (levy), but all options remain on the table
The Sixteenth Meeting of the Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships has just concluded with some progress made on the finalisation of mid-term measures, and without a decisive shift in the landscape of positions and preferences. This meeting was the first convening of the IMO following the adoption of the Revised GHG Strategy in July 2023.
Concept Study to Offload Onboard Captured CO2 Key Findings and Executive Summary
The successful downstream integration of onboard captured CO2
in the carbon value chain hinges on the ability to capture, store
and offload industry-acceptable CO2 ashore.
Researchers can help shipowners achieve ambitious climate targets
International shipping does not want to be a climate bad guy and is aiming to be emission-free by 2050. A new tool designed by researchers in Trondheim can help shipowners who are searching for green solutions.
New partners strengthen digitalization and decarbonization along the Rotterdam-Singapore Green & Digital Shipping Corridor

Advancing zero-emission maritime solutions: Case study of an ammonia-powered fuel cell system implementation
The international scientific community asserts that ammonia will play an essential role in decarbonizing ships, primarily due to its abundance, availability in ports, and potential for production from renewable sources (green ammonia).
Opinion: Even progressive carriers could struggle to reach climate goals
It is worrying for the entire industry that one of the most progressive shipping companies seems to be struggling to reduce its emissions, writes Lars Jensen.
