At the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, a coalition comprising more than 50 key players in the shipping industry has called for an expedited shift towards zero-emission fuels with a specific focus on doubling green hydrogen production by 2030. The group's initiative, supported by signatories like Lloyd's Register, emphasizes the necessity for bold actions to accelerate research and investments in decarbonizing global shipping operations. Central to this push is the call for a collaborative approach throughout supply chains to expand the availability of green shipping fuels, particularly highlighting the significance of hydrogen power. Lloyd's Register's managing director, James Forsdyke, underlines the challenge of developing a dependable green hydrogen supply chain that can deliver carbon-neutral fuels to ships in major maritime hubs safely and sustainably, with benefits extended to seafarers and port communities. As part of their vision, the coalition aims to have zero or near-zero emission technologies accounting for 5-10% of the maritime industry's fuel sources by 2030. This commitment involves increased investments by ship owners and operators in zero-emission vessels, coupled with a promise from equipment manufacturers to hasten research and development efforts focused on hydrogen-powered machinery. The collective push by the shipping industry stakeholders underscores a positive outlook towards the potential of hydrogen in transforming the sector's environmental footprint and marks a significant step towards a greener future for maritime transportation.
