Description (excerpt):

Marine shipping vessels primarily burn bunker fuels like heavy fuel oil or marine gas oil. However, in July 2023, the International Maritime Organization’s 175 member states voted unanimously to work toward net-zero marine shipping by “close to” 2050. Thus, the industry has momentum to decarbonize, but it will need policy support to ensure the costs of this transition will be borne across all parties rather than harming first movers.

This fact sheet is part of an Energy Innovation paper assessing clean hydrogen’s value for cutting climate pollution from 12 end uses.
