To examine how the IMO’s mid-term measures will influence shipping’s transition to e-fuels and decarbonization.
To evaluate different policy scenarios, including fuel standards, levies, and financial incentives, to determine their effectiveness in promoting low-emission fuel adoption.
Sector: Policy
Supply-side and demand-side stranded asset risks in shipping
To provides an overview of the supply-side and demand-side risks of stranded assets in the shipping industry as it transitions towards decarbonization.
To quantify the scale of these risks, particularly for fossil fuel-dependent vessels, and to provide insights for industry stakeholders on mitigating financial and operational impacts.
Safe Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage
To provide a high-level analysis of current and emerging regulatory frameworks related to onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS), offering insights into the key factors influencing their safe adoption in the maritime sector.
To highlight critical safety, economic, and technological considerations for implementing OCCS, emphasizing their potential implications and requirements for maritime industry stakeholders, including policymakers, technology providers, shipping companies, and port authorities.
Regulatory trends and impact: Second Edition
To provide the explanation of the latest adopted and anticipated IMO regulations, offering insights into their impact on the maritime sector.
To highlight key regulatory changes at regional and national levels, emphasizing their potential implications for industry stakeholders.
Evaluating the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII): Challenges and Recommendations for Improvements
To highlight the need for the improvement of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) regulations based on a thorough review of current issues and literature. The study examines key challenges through online surveys and interviews with Belgian shipping companies, identifying and ranking the most urgent areas for improvement. The goal is to provide policy recommendations for stakeholders based on the identified priorities.
Economic benefits of building zero-emission capable vessels in East Asia
To evaluate the economic opportunities for shipbuilding countries – China, the Republic of Korea, and Japan – through the construction of zero-emission capable vessels (ZECVs).
To explore the potential revenues generated by replacing conventional ships with ZECVs and highlight the role of first-mover advantages in the shipbuilding market.
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.
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
Alternative Fuels Insight
To provide insight into the future transition of international shipping to alternative fuels, focusing on achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
To offer guidance on selecting the appropriate alternative fuels and addressing the technical, economic, and regulatory factors involved in making informed decisions.
Marginal abatement cost curves for CO2 emission reduction from shipping to 2050
To present the most detailed marginal abatement cost curves (MACCs) for CO2 emission reduction in the global shipping fleet from 2025 to 2050.
To evaluate the costs and CO2 reduction potential of over 50 measures and various fuel systems, providing insights into achieving decarbonization goals in line with global regulatory strategies.
