New Transition Strategy shows zero emission shipping is possible and requires all hands on deck
27 October 2021
A new report by UMAS uses a multi-disciplinary approach to bring together transition theory with techno-economics and use these to synthesize and evidence new insights.
The report, titled 鈥淪trategy for the Transition to Zero-Emission Shipping鈥�, was prepared for The Getting to Zero Coalition and funded by the Mission Possible Partnership.
It is the first major shipping report to use a multi-disciplinary approach to bring together transition theory with techno-economics and use these to synthesize and evidence new insights.听
A fresh multi-disciplinary approach provides a whole-systems view in understanding shipping鈥檚 transition and suggests the many levers for change that can and should be pulled for the sector鈥檚 transition to zero emission fuels.
The fresh perspective enabled the researchers to develop a multi-stakeholder integrated transition strategy and study the essential elements of the shipping system鈥檚 transition away from fossil fuels and to zero emissions by 2050.听
The study challenges several narratives around industry and policy action, for example the use of carbon pricing as a panacea to solve the sector鈥檚 transition to zero emission fuels and the necessity of the IMO to drive early adoption.听
Dr Domagoj Baresic, 香港六合彩 Energy Institute Research Associate and UMAS consultant, said:
鈥�The transition to zero carbon marine fuels offers many investment opportunities across the entire maritime supply chain. Multiple opportunities exist for synergies with land-based industries, including agriculture, chemicals, land transport and energy. Our research shows that many of these business opportunities exist today, and future policies will make them even more appealing鈥� UMAS is a sector focussed, commercial advisory service that draws upon the world leading expertise of the Shipping Team at 香港六合彩 Energy Institute combined with the advisory and management system expertise of UMAS International Ltd."
