    Colombia’s Hydrogen Potential & Opportunities for Shipping

    Colombia stands to benefit from international shipping’s shift to scalable zero-emission fuels due to its low potential cost for producing green hydrogen, access to two oceans and ability to leverage renewable energy resources. Although projects focusing on green hydrogen are already emerging in the country, few of these relate to zero-carbon marine fuels, which puts Colombia at risk of missing out on a major growth opportunity.

      Getting to Zero Coalition MEPC 80 Statement

      Last week, Member States of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) adopted the revised Greenhouse Gas Strategy. The Strategy is an important milestone for the industry as it builds confidence in the transition by clearly indicating that a shift to zero-emission fuels is required at scale, starting now.

      Statement from the Global Maritime Forum on the IMO’s revised GHG strategy

      Today, in London, the IMO adopted a revised GHG strategy which aims to reach net-zero emissions from international shipping by or around 2050, a remarkable improvement compared to the initial strategy adopted in 2018.

        The Tipping Point for Decarbonizing International Shipping

        The revision of the initial GHG Strategy will have significant implications for the industry at large, sending critical market signals on what path international shipping will take as it seeks to decarbonize and address its climate emissions. Lobbyists and negotiators alike have been hard at work in the months prior, submitting proposals and gaining allies to back key positions. This insight brief covers the four key elements that will need to be settled before the revised strategy is adopted at MEPC 80.

        Enablers and challenges to operational efficiency pilots

        This paper explores this question as part of a series that examines the undervalued opportunity presented by operational efficiencies to reduce shipping emissions in the short term and pave the way for long-term decarbonisation solutions. The learnings presented here have emerged from a series of meetings and workshops gathering perspectives from experts across the maritime value chain—shipowners, operators, charterers, ports, and NGOs—as part of the Short Term Actions Taskforce.
