The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has issued a 115-page report in which it makes a strong case for the rapid development of green hydrogen infrastructure, suggesting renewable fuels based on the substance and advanced biofuels could cut up to 80% of CO2 emissions attributed to shipping by 2050.
Renewable fuels should contribute at least 70% of the sector’s energy mix in 2050, IRENA’s report suggests, outlining a roadmap for the global shipping sector in line with the global 1.5°C climate goal. The report comes out just over a fortnight ahead of COP26, a major international climate summit taking place in Glasgow.
