The ‘fuel of the future’ debate is one of the hottest topics in maritime circles, as shipowners eye ever tightening emission regulations through 2050. While there is no ‘silver bullet’ solution, the Getting to Zero Coalition’s biannual Mapping of Zero Emission Pilots and Demonstration Projects outlines the spread and scope of existing zero emission projects, encompassing the full value chain of technologies needed to facilitate shipping’s transition to zero emission fuels.
The second edition sees a significant increase in the number of identified projects – up from 66 to 106 – focusing on ship technologies, fuel production as well as bunkering and recharging facilities.
“Our mapping aims to support potential first movers in kickstarting shipping’s zero emission future. By making the full list of projects publicly available today, frontrunners can draw upon learnings from other projects and improve confidence in undertaking new innovations that will get the industry on a zero emission path,” said Jesse Fahnestock, Project Director at the Global Maritime Forum and lead of the Getting to Zero Coalition’s Motivating First Movers workstream…
