MTF Unveils Landmark Framework For Holistic Assessment Of Decarbonization Technologies

The Maritime Technologies Forum (MTF) – of which DNV is a founding member – has today unveiled a framework designed to empower decision-makers in shipping to holistically assess and compare decarbonization technologies and low to zero-emission energy carriers.

The current phase sets out the areas for assessment and comparison and will be built on in the second phase to identify optimal assessment methodologies. The MTF believes this framework will be particularly beneficial when industry is...
