Panama, Norway, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Uruguay have come out in support of the brand-new Clean Energy Marine Hubs Initiative.
Launched at the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) in Pittsburgh, the initiative has seen the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) and the Clean Energy Maritime Taskforce partner up to work with governments to increase supply of zero-carbon fuels.
Five nations have thus far signed up to the new public-private platform. The initial concept for creating green marine hubs was announced earlier this year as a forum to enable policy makers and industry stakeholders to quickly unlock clean energy deployment. This announcement represents the next step in the development of an initiative that will help unlock the potential for global adoption of zero emission fuels.
Key objectives of the initiative include facilitating information and knowledge exchange on policies, programmes, and decarbonisation projects to de-risk investment and accelerate the commercial deployment of alternative fuels and technologies across countries.
