In April 2018, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted an Initial Strategy on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships. The agreement aims to reduce at least 50 % of the GHG emissions from shipping by 2050, compared to 2008 levels. The Initial Strategy represents a framework for Member States to develop plans to reduce GHG emissions from shipping, which includes (among other points) the implementation of candidate short-,mid- and long-term measures for decarbonization of maritime transport.
The event will discuss the development of zero emission fuels for shipping, with a particular focus on Latin America. There will be a presentation on the potential of alternative fuels to decarbonize the shipping industry, from UCL Energy Institute, followed by a presentation on the Brazilian potential to produce marine biofuels (biobunkers), based on a study conducted by Coppe-UFRJ. The presentations will be followed by comments from a representative of the Spanish maritime sector (tbc), and a Q&A session moderated by Dr. Lavinia Hollanda, Senior Consultant on Sustainable Shipping for the Institute for Climate and Society and presented by Míriam Zaitegui, Senior Climate Change Policy Officer for ECODES.
