Case study

Decarbonising shipping

Shipping is an integral part of international trade flows with over 80% of international trade volumes carried by sea. To address this, the International Maritime Organisation has laid out targets to entirely eliminate all shipping emissions by the end of the century with a shorter-term target to halve total emissions by 2050. The EU has also set its own targets of a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050.

FuelEU Maritime; what it means for shipping

The Fuel EU Maritime is the latest EU regulation aimed at the maritime sector, which came into force on the 1st of January 2025. It is part of the European Union’s broader “Fit for 55” package of legislation, which aims to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Fuel EU Maritime is designed to incentivise the uptake of lower-carbon alternative fuels in vessels by penalising the use of most conventional fossil-based marine fuels.
