Decarbonising Shipping: “book and claim” pilot uses clean fuel tokens that move from cargo through to fuel producers
Switching to clean alternative fuels is the key component of the decarbonisation of shipping. But it faces the classic “chicken and egg” problem of who moves first: the fuel producers, the refuelling ports or their customers the ship and cargo owners. Aparajit Pandey and Oscar Hernandez at RMI explain how a “book and claim” system can be the answer. It’s already proven itself in electricity markets and the aviation sector.

Opinion: Shipping industry to IMO – No. More. Excuses.
At COP27, industry actors from a major, carbon-intensive sector very publicly stepped up their commitments to decarbonise. Private sector leaders from across the maritime shipping value chain – ship owners, ship operators, financers and ports – jointly committed to start switching to low-emissions fuels this decade. The joint statement was a bold move to get an industry that has historically been fuelled by the cheapest, dirtiest fuel on track to reach net zero by 2050.
Piloting green shipping corridors: Australia-Japan and Asia-Europe
The shipping industry is diverse, disaggregated and part of the logistical chain of 80% of global trade. So reducing its emissions (3% of the global total) will be complex. One way to cut through this complexity is to create a limited number of green shipping corridors between major port hubs, to pilot solutions.

Academics, analysts and politicians have long regarded the 21st century as the advent of an age dominated by the Asian continent.

Our infrastructure must become climate-resilient
The Kerala floods have already claimed their place as one of the most devastating extreme weather events in India’s history. Perhaps the most frustrating part of this tragedy is the fact that this loss of life and the economic devastation was preventable. Between August 8 and 9, the state received 12 inches of rainfall in 24 hours. Dams reached their capacity and operators opened the gates of 35 of the 39 dams.

India’s low carbon transition
As the US, under President Donald Trump, vacates its leadership position on climate change, new actors have emerged to take its place. Both China and India have taken positive steps to curb national carbon emissions, and are well ahead of the goals set under the Paris Agreement. India in particular has made a push towards a low carbon economic transition by expanding its renewable energy capacity by 350% over the past 13 years and plans to double its existing renewable energy capacity by 2022.
