To evaluate the impact of policies, analyzing how recent climate policies from the EU and US, specifically the US Inflation Reduction Act and EU ETS along with the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, affect the adoption and deployment of alternative marine fuels.
To identify the investment implications of these policies, focusing on the synergies of the US and EU policies.
To provide actionable insights for stakeholders.
Sector: Policy
Net zero and UK shipping
To examine the UK Government’s approach and progress towards decarbonizing the shipping sector, including international and domestic shipping, to meet net-zero emission goals, and to recommend necessary steps to ensure that the maritime sector of the UK will contribute to global emissions reductions
Policy Options to Decarbonize Ocean-Going Vessels
To identify policy recommendations for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships, addressing both international and local policy frameworks, with the aim of evaluating policy options for decarbonizing ocean-going vessels.
Distributinig Carbon Revenues from Shipping
The report discusses which countries could access carbon revenues, for what purposes, and on what terms. It argues that revenues should be used to decarbonize shipping, enhance maritime infrastructure, and support broader climate aims. This (mix of options to use carbon revenues) would speed up shipping’s transition to zero-carbon energy, help build the necessary infrastructure, lower maritime transport costs, and result in climate benefits beyond maritime transport. It would also ensure that all countries, including those with no shipping industry or ports, could access carbon revenues. By developing a smart and flexible framework, the report shows how carbon revenues could be distributed to maximize climate benefits and support an equitable transition.
