A new report conducted by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has shown that a rapid replacement of fossil fuels with renewable fuels based on green hydrogen and advanced biofuels could cut up to 80% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions attributed to international maritime shipping by mid-century.
Renewable fuels should contribute at least 70% of the sector’s energy mix in 2050, for the global decarbonisation of the shipping sector, in line with the 1.5°C climate goal, according to IRENA’s publication “A Pathway to Decarbonise the Shipping Sector by 2050.”
