The IMO should exert more pressure on refineries to produce low-carbon fuel so the roadmap for shipping decarbonisation can be simplified, according to some shipowners.
Endeavouring to cut greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by half from 2008 before 2050, member states of the IMO are still discussing which decarbonisation measures should be adopted in the decades ahead.
“I would rather they target the sources of what we put into the engines,” said shipowner Houda Ghandour from Hermes Marine.
