Abstract
The International Maritime Organization has committed to reducing greenhouse gases emissions from international shipping by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 levels. To reach that goal, a shift towards new low- and zero-carbon fuels -such as hydrogen and ammonia- is urgently needed, along with the deployment of safe and reliable zero-emission vessels, technologies and infrastructure. With shipping being a potential significant demand driver for these new fuels, it can act as a trigger and catalyst for the broader energy transition, benefiting other sectors of the economy. The P4G-Getting to Zero (GtZ) Coalition Partnership is a two-year project that focuses on shipping decarbonisation business and development opportunities in Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa. To the project’s core is the priority of bringing forward the national voices, priorities and policies around climate change, energy transition, job generation and air pollution. To that end, the P4G-GtZ team detected and engaged with key national and international stakeholders that can provide the current countries’ landscape, diagnostic and synergies around shipping opportunities. Apart from generating a networking space for the different key stakeholders, the project delivered detailed shipping activity maps coupled with energy studies that throw light at which low/zero-carbon fuel offers better feasibility to decarbonise shipping taking into account policy, job generation and international competition. The poster introduces the P4G-GtZ Coalition Partnership and the progress done so far while highlighting key findings around shipping decarbonisation, hydrogen-based fuels potential and energy transitions.
