Renewable energy-rich developing nations priced out of shipping’s $1.6 trillion energy transition opportunity

20 March 2025, London, UK — A new study released today by UMAS and UCL Energy Institute Shipping and Oceans Research Group shows that poor access to funding and higher costs of capital in developing countries could almost double the prices of e-fuels they produce, compared to developed economies—even when renewable energy resources such as onshore wind and solar are superior.

Without targeted financial support mechanisms, future e-fuel production could concentrate in already-advantaged...

LR and UMAS release new ‘Zero-Emission Vessels Transition Pathways’ study

Katherine H. Palmer

29 January 2019 – Today, Lloyd’s Register (LR) and University Maritime Advisory Services (UMAS) have released ‘Zero-Emission Vessels Transition Pathways’, a study that aims to show what is needed to enable the transition, both at the ship and supply infrastructure level, to deliver zero-emission vessels (ZEVs) that are crucial to achieve the IMO’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Strategy 2050 ambition. The study demonstrates to all stakeholders what action needs to be taken now.

The new...
