$300bn a year in NZF costs? Really?
- Worst-case scenario estimate by petrostates assumes zero fuel switching by ships
- Critics’ estimates of the cost to shipping are far higher than most scenarios
- Maersk’s non-profit decarbonisation centre estimates NZF would roughly double fuel costs over 25 years, not overnight
Opponents of the IMO Net-Zero Framework have claimed it could cost international shipping $300bn by 2035. But the claim doesn’t stand up to scrutiny
