Future fuels: Shipping’s path to decarbonisation
The shipping industry requires immediate innovation and urgent action to navigate its way to decarbonisation. Big ideas, with hard cash to back up development programmes, are required across the industry, as too are the interim carbon reduction measures being implemented and accelerated across a range of different companies.
Shipping’s road to decarbonisation faces familiar obstacles
A broader mobilisation towards a lower-carbon future will require political backing — and that means stronger decarbonisation commitments in the near future
