Take control over your decarbonization journey

Decarbonizing shipping is a complex challenge requiring smart decisions and strategic investments to meet the IMO's 2050 zero-emission goal.

The 8th edition of the Maritime Forecast to 2050 explores multiple pathways to shipping's decarbonization. While carbon-neutral fuels are the most obvious path to net-zero, their low supply and high costs make energy efficiency technologies a more immediate, cost-effective solution. 

Decarbonization will be underpinned by advancement in digital technologies and systems with increased digitalization providing vital data on vessel performance, quantifying the impact of energy-saving measures, and aiding in the design of the next generation of energy-efficient ships.

 

To get practical and start taking control over your decarbonization journey, we suggest focusing on these key areas:

Achieving net-zero by 2050 requires a flexible and strategic approach, looking at all options (long, medium and short term) to decarbonize most effectively.

Solutions:
Decarbonizing the industry needs a global system for carbon-neutral fuels, but it's unclear which fuels will be widely available and at what cost. This makes it difficult to decide on a fuel choice.

Energy efficiency technologies and measures provide a cost-efficient and predictable pathway to emissions reductions, while also reducing demand for carbon-neutral fuels.

Solutions:

  • Fleet / Energy efficiency management
  • (Techno-economic) feasibility studies
  • Technology qualification
  • Vessel Technical Index (VTI)
Emissions management is both a compliance and a commercial challenge. Accurate emissions management is dependent on transparent, reliable data, backed up by a trusted source.
