Shipping may not meet 5 per cent zero-emissions fuel target

The world is not on track for zero-emission fuels to account for 5 per cent of international shipping fuels by 2030, a new analysis has found, jeopardising the shipping industry's 2050 decarbonisation goal. Launched at the Global Maritime Forum's annual summit in Athens, the assessment finds that current scalable zeroemissions fuel (SZEF) production in the pipeline would cover just a quarter of the fuel needed by 2030 and delivery of zero-emission vessels is also faltering. Global shipping is responsible for about three per cent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.
