The roadmap to meet IMO’s decarbonisation target in 2030 is much clearer than that for 2050, with current technology development providing few clues to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly further, according to some senior industry officials.
In April, member states of the IMO agreed to reduce carbon intensity in maritime transport by at least 40% from the 2008 level by 2030, while setting an eventual reduction target of 70% by 2050.
