Regional regulation will supplant international action to allow vessels on regular journeys between hydrogen production centres to spearhead the decarbonisation transition, a new report argues.
That can allow about 10% of shipping’s consumption to move to zero emission fuels during the 2020s, it said.
The report by UMAS for The Getting to Zero Coalition titled 'Strategy for the Transition to Zero-Emission Shipping' was funded by the Mission Possible Partnership and claims to be the first major shipping report into decarbonization to use a multi-disciplinary approach.
