Amazon, clothing firm Patagonia and German coffee chain Tchibo have founded the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA) along with non-profit organisation the Aspen Institute, and are seeking other freight buyers to come onboard.
The alliance is part of the Cargo Owners for Zero Emissions Vessels (coZEV) initiative and aims to enable companies to access zero-emission shipping solutions that are not currently available.
ZEMBA plans to issue a request for proposal (RfP) in 2023 to forward procure maritime shipping services that achieve zero or near-zero emissions on a lifecycle basis, for all greenhouse gases, not limited to carbon dioxide. The delivery of these services will be expected to start in 2025 or 2026. As ZEMBA membership grows in the coming years, ZEMBA plans to run similar tenders with larger volumes of demand until zero-emission shipping becomes mainstream in the industry.
