Discover how the US Department of Energy (DOE) is spearheading global initiatives to achieve zero emissions in maritime transport by 2050. Explore their collaborative efforts and ambitious targets.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is taking the helm in international efforts alongside partners in Singapore and domestically with ABS to achieve zero emissions in maritime transport by 2050.
The updated Zero-Emission Shipping Mission (ZESM) goals focus on ramping up zero-emission vessels and fuel production by 2030 to accelerate progress towards decarbonization.
Collaboration with stakeholders is driving progress, evidenced by a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between EERE and ABS, facilitating information sharing and collaborative research on maritime decarbonization strategies.
The maritime transportation sector faces ambitious decarbonization targets both internationally and domestically, with industry reliance on inexpensive, energy-intensive fuels posing a significant challenge.
The US spearheads initiatives like the US Maritime Decarbonization Action Plan and the Green Shipping Corridor Initiation Project, demonstrating commitment to reducing GHG emissions in the maritime sector through research, development, and international partnerships.
