Shipping’s Net Zero Future: Addressing Requirements to Reduce Maritime Emissions

Global supply chains depend on shipping, and with that comes significant emissions responsibility. New regulations from the IMO and EU, alongside growing customer demand and reputational pressures, are accelerating the transition to low and zero-carbon fuels. This whitepaper explores the regulatory landscape, available clean fuel options, and the practical steps ship owners can take today to comply with mandates, reduce risk, and build long-term competitive advantage.

Key takeaways

• How new IMO and EU frameworks set strict timelines and penalties for maritime emissions
• The role of LNG, bioLNG, biodiesel, and renewable diesel as compliance pathways
• What's next: methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, and onboard carbon capture technologies
• Why ship owners should pilot fuel strategies now and build supply chain partnerships early
• How pooling, banking, and regulatory mechanisms can help manage cost and compliance
