Pathways to Marine Decarbonisation
During the London International Shipping Week 2023, we had the honour of delivering a key lecture as a supporting organisation on the topic of "Pathways to Marine Decarbonisation."
The lecture focused on the International Maritime Organisation's (IMO) strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the maritime industry and explored viable pathways for achieving decarbonisation. Key discussions included the role of alternative fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen, and biofuels, alongside technological innovations and regulatory frameworks essential for meeting the IMO's sustainability goals.
The session highlighted the challenges associated with transitioning to alternative fuel sources and provided stakeholders with actionable insights into overcoming technical, economic, and infrastructural hurdles. By contributing to this global dialogue, we reaffirm our commitment to driving sustainable change within the maritime sector and aligning with the IMO's decarbonisation agenda.
