Maritime & Shipping Decarbonization

How Companies Navigate Decarbonization Goals in the Global Maritime Sector

The maritime sector moves over 90% of global trade and produces about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With new regulations such as the EU ETS (2024) and FuelEU Maritime (2025) and upcoming tightening IMO measures, such as CII and NZF, ship operators face higher compliance costs and growing pressure to decarbonize. The industry’s transition demands scalable, market-based solutions, from low-carbon fuels to verified emissions tracking, without disrupting global trade.

FAQs

What are the main sources of emissions in the maritime sector?

Shipping generates about 3% of global CO₂ emissions, mainly from fuel combustion in engines and auxiliary systems.

What solutions can reduce maritime emissions today?

Ship operators can use certified marine biofuels, BioLNG or biomethane and adopt verified insets to compensate remaining emissions.

How does FuelEU Maritime impact shipping companies?

FuelEU Maritime, effective 2025, requires gradual reductions in fuel GHG intensity. Operators must use low-carbon fuels or credits to stay compliant.
