HomeStudy on methods and considerations for the determination of greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for international shipping
Final report : technology pathways
Publication metadata
The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted the Initial IMO Strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships which envisages to ‘reduc[e] GHG emissions from international shipping and (…) phase them out as soon as possible in this century’. It also expresses the ambition to: - reduce CO2 emissions per transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 40% by 2030 compared to 2008; and - to peak GHG emissions from international shipping as soon as possible and to reduce the total annual GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 whilst pursuing efforts towards phasing them out as called for in the Vision as a point on a pathway of CO2 emissions reduction consistent with the Paris Agreement temperature goals. The Initial Strategy recognises that in order to meet the 2050 Level of Ambition, the global introduction of alternative fuels and/or energy sources will be required. Within the context of the Initial Strategy, this report explores technology pathways to meet the 2050 Level of Ambition and the Strategy’s vision and identified associated research and development needs.
