The Maltese government has unveiled its updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), showcasing a commitment to achieve a 25% renewable energy target by 2030. Malta's strategic focus on the maritime sector includes efforts to enhance sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Key initiatives involve promoting sustainable shipping practices, green ship technologies, and alternative fuels such as LNG and hydrogen for maritime transport. The country is also upgrading port infrastructure to support greener operations and developing strategies to align with EU regulations on emissions reduction. Investments in shore-to-ship infrastructure, particularly in the Grand Harbour, aim to transition away from heavy fuel oils, improve environmental conditions, and protect public health. Clean maritime fuels are highlighted as essential for decarbonising the shipping sector and achieving Europe's carbon-neutral goals. The plan emphasizes the need to address supply and affordability barriers to these fuels while ensuring security of supply. Miriam Dalli, the Minister for Environment, Energy, and Regeneration of the Grand Harbour, sees this commitment as transformative and crucial for Malta's sustainability and resilience.
