  • The mission of ZEMBA is to accelerate commercial deployment of zero-emission shipping, by leveraging companies’ collective buying power.
  • The global shipping industry accounts for 3% of global climate emissions, more than global air travel.
  • Approximately 90% of the world trade is transported by sea, and current business-as-usual scenarios project emissions will grow up to 50% over 2018 levels. 

In March 29, the Aspen Institute announced the addition of IKEA as...

  • The vessels will be retrofitted to ensure suitable LNG bunkering capabilities, enabling them to both transport and bunker LNG.
  • Decarbonisation will require a range of solutions, and the LNG pathway to net-zero emissions using LNG, LBM and e-LNG is a practical option available.
  • Titan’s expanding fleet already includes a mix of owned and chartered vessels

Titan, an independent supplier of low and zero-emission fuels, has acquired two small scale LNG carriers...

Shipping Australia welcomes news of EUR1.1 bn green methanol investment in Tasmania

Pictured: an artist’s impression of a green hydrogen production plant to be build by Spanish energy giant Iberdrola. Hydrogen can be produced in an environmentally friendly way by using renewably-source energy (such as from the sun, wind, or waves) to create electricity that is used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen when combined with carbon, and oxygen can be used to create methanol (CH3-0H), an alcohol that can be used as a marine fuel. Graphic credit: Iberdrola.

Efforts to reduce the carbon intensity of shipping will receive a major boost early next year when a new suite of regulations take effect.

Global maritime greenhouse gas emissions stand at about 1,076 million tonnes per annum, according to the International Maritime Organization, which, if global maritime was a country, would put it a little bit...

The EU Can Help To Accelerate Shipping Decarbonization

  • However, the report also shows that further progress to unlock investments, deployment, and scale-up can only come from getting the right incentivizing policies in place.
  • Policy action is one of the main drivers of decarbonization.
  • The views expressed are those of the authors alone.

We are urging EU policymakers to increase the climate ambition in these policy proposals and explicitly encourage the production and use of zero emission fuels made from net-zero energy sources, such as green and...

CMA CGM: No single fuel can achieve carbon zero

French shipping giant CMA CGM believes that there is no one fuel that can achieve the industry’s move towards decarbonization in 2050, and that all eligible fuels should be explored.

Speaking at the Singapore International Bunkering Conference today (7 October), CMA CGM’s Vice-President for Bunkering and Energy Transition, Farid Trad said, “We’re investing in assets, ships, in efficient vessels that are LNG-propelled or methanol-powered. It has been well understood that LNG is a great transition...
