[WEBINAR]Decarbonising Shipping: Issues and Challenges

COP26 Climate Summit held at Glasgow in November 2021 has brought the focus back on to environment and climate change issues in the world. Several countries have pledged to take steps to cut down the carbon emissions and tread on the path towards green transition with set targets for NetZero emissions.

In the series of efforts towards decarbonisation, the recent Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 77 meeting held in November 2021 has adopted a resolution on voluntary use of cleaner fuels in the Arctic, to reduce black carbon emissions.

Fossil fuel powered mobility has been under scanner recently for its high carbon emissions. It has become pertinent for the stakeholders in the mobility sector to review the current conventional fuels and to think of alternative fuels to meet the new emission targets.

How the new targets for green transition and curbs on fossil fuels set by governments, and the respective global regulatory agencies are going to change the future of the fuels is the prime focus area today. As global demand for transport energy is huge, growing, and largely met by petroleum-derived liquid fuels powering internal combustion engines (ICEs). In this backdrop, in order to bring the attention on the need for green transition, pathway towards decarbonisation, and alternative fuels availability and their efficiency, we have initiated a webinar on the topic, “Decarbonising Shipping: Issues and Challenges,”

We have made MASSA, CMMI, INSA, FOSMA, ICCSA and IME to be part of the event as supporting partners for better reach of the message to a larger community.
