Global shipping emissions represent around 3% of global man-made emissions. New regulations and policy initiatives are aimed at tackling maritime emissions. Industry itself is responding with a wide range of technological innovations.

Since January 2024 the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) includes maritime emissions. Not all maritime transport is covered at the same time. Large cargo and passenger ships are the first to fall under the new EU ETS rules, offshore ships are next. Globally the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has issued a strategy to reduce GHG emissions from ships.

Our upcoming ERC event will offer a joint Offshore Energy and CC(U)S Focus Groups session. The agenda, put together by René Peters, Offshore Energy Focus Group leader and Brigitte Jacobs, CC(U)S Focus Group leader will zoom in on reducing emissions from maritime and offshore operations.

You can expect to hear about:

• Zero emission or low emissions propulsion technologies including nuclear, methanol, battery electric;
• On board carbon capture technologies;
• Market readiness and applicability of these technologies for ocean shipping, offshore installation vessels and offshore service vessels.
