Technical feasibility assessment on shipping decarbonization
A study on the readiness and availability of low- and zero-carbon ship technology and marine fuels suggests that achieving a more ambitious decarbonization pathway than business as usual is feasible, with a strengthened level of ambition and implementation of further GHG reduction measures. The research was commissioned by IMO under its Future Fuels and Technology for Low- and Zero-Carbon Shipping Project.
