ZERO EMISSION SHIPPING
The goal is to demonstrate commercially-viable zero-emission ships by 2030, making vessels that operate on zero-emission fuels the natural choice for ship owners when they renew their fleet.
International shipping transports the majority of the world’s goods and is responsible for 3% of global emissions, potentially increasing by half by 2050 on its current trajectory. To set international shipping on an ambitious zero-emission trajectory, we need commercially viable, zero-emission ocean-going vessels in the global fleet by 2030.
FOCUS AREAS
Coordinated innovation needs to take place across the entire maritime value chain, from the ships to the future zero-emission fuels they will rely on, and the infrastructure that will supply them. This will drive the sector to a tipping point in its transition to well-to-wake zero-emission fuels as soon as possible. The Mission will focus on the following three areas to achieve the goal:
SHIPS
Introduce fit-for-purpose and viable vessels that operate on zero-emission fuels to the global fleet so that by 2030, at least 200 ships primarily use zero-emission fuels across main deep sea shipping routes.
FUELS
Scale up efficient production of zero-emission fuels so that by 2030, ships capable of running on hydrogen-based zero emission fuels and advanced biofuels make up at least 5% of the global deep-sea fleet measured by fuel consumption.
FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE
Establish global port infrastructure to support vessels operating on zero-emission fuels so that by 2030, 10 large trade ports covering at least three continents supply zero-emission fuels.
