Synthetic fuels for Shipping.The shipping industry is responsible for approximately 3% of the global CO2 emissions caused by human activities. In April 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) agreed to align its regulations with the goals of the UN’s Paris Agreement, thereby reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping. The ‘Initial IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships’ (Resolution MEPC.304(72)), included the ambition to reduce annual emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008, beginning a massive and international shift towards the adoption of zero- and low-carbon fuels for the industry. This strategy was revised in 2023 during Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 80, increasing significantly the levels of ambition to reaching net-zero GHG emissions by or around 2050.#EMSA #Synthetic #Fuels
