Preparing a port: the means to an unsettled end
Pieter Vandermeeren, Technical Manager – Environment, Port of Antwerp
In order to deliver on the IMO’s 2040 and 2050 GHG targets, shipping will have to give up its dependence on traditional, oil-based bunker fuels. This session looks at some of the alternative fuels that are already established or are about to enter the marine fuel pool and considers their environmental credentials as well as issues such commercial feasibility and scalability.
Achieving emissions reduction targets is an imperative for shipping and the wider maritime sector, but the realisation of these ambitions will require significant, ongoing investment. This session will look at the financial implications of decarbonisation and review some of the cross-sector and regional initiatives which could underpin and facilitate shipping’s journey to a low and zero carbon future.
