Industry coalition urges IMO states to approve delayed net-zero framework
International Maritime Organization (IMO) member states have been urged to vote in favour of its proposed net-zero framework by almost 90 international groups, including hydrogen majors. Backers of the regulation said the framework’s implementation would provide alignment on emissions and strengthen investment signals for new fuels and technologies.
GMF: Transition to low-carbon maritime poses both challenges and opportunities
In an exclusive interview to SAFETY4SEA, Jesse Fahnestock, Director of Decarbonisation at the Global Maritime Forum (GMF), emphasizes that the green transition comes with significant challenges. He stresses the importance of ensuring that lower-income countries are not left behind in the shift to cleaner energy. Despite these hurdles, the move toward maritime decarbonisation is already in progress.
Global Maritime Forum: How the IMO can construct a bridge to a zero-emission future
A global fuel standard will not work alone, says director of decarbonisation Jesse Fahnestock 14 February 2025 13:11 GMT Updated 14 February 2025 13:11 GMT As negotiators gather at the intercessional working group of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee next week in London, they should remember that a bridge is only as strong as its pillars.
Pioneering hydrogen e-fuels can transform shipping: Global Maritime Forum
Almost a year ago, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) member states gathered in London, UK, to discuss the future of the maritime industry. From these discussions emerged the IMO’s revised strategy on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, which emphasises the critical importance of zero-emission fuels in achieving the ambitious industry targets. The revised strategy aims to completely phase out GHG emissions from shipping “by or around” 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.
This new strategy is paving the way for net-zero shipping
Emissions from international shipping and aviation are not explicitly mentioned in the 2015 Paris Agreement — a legally binding international treaty on climate change signed at COP21 in 2015 — but efforts to decarbonize shipping have intensified since the adoption of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Initial Strategy on GHG Reduction in 2018. The IMO’s greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy called for at least a reduction (compared to 2008) of CO2 emissions from shipping by 2050.
This is the pathway to net-zero shipping
The Getting to Zero Coalition has launched a Strategy for the Transition to Zero-Emission Shipping. The strategy identifies key aspects needed to enable the transition from fossil fuels to zero emissions. It also analyzes how policy-making at the national, regional, and global levels plays a critical role in the transition towards net-zero shipping.
