About The Event
In recent years, maritime transport has faced mounting pressure to drastically reduce—and ultimately eliminate—its negative environmental impacts, especially concerning climate change and air pollution. As one of the key drivers of global trade, the maritime industry contributes approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually and emits around 15% of some of the world's most harmful air pollutants, including methane (CH4), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur oxides (SOx).
To achieve the ambitious 2050 decarbonization goals set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and align with global sustainability initiatives, the maritime sector must embrace a revolutionary transition. This transition requires a twofold strategy:
1. Increasing energy efficiency across vessels and operational systems.
2. Adopting renewable and low-carbon fuels, such as biofuels, hydrogen, ammonia, and synthetic carbon-based fuels.
At present, the industry relies heavily on fossil fuels, particularly heavy fuel oil. Meeting future emissions targets will depend on a shift to alternative energy sources, powering a new generation of vessels equipped with zero-carbon propulsion technologies, including modified internal combustion engines and fuel cells.
The World Sustainable Marine Fuels Forum serves as a critical platform to address these challenges head-on, fostering innovation, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among maritime stakeholders. This event is designed to bring together shipping industry leaders, fuel innovators, technology providers, and policymakers to explore actionable solutions for decarbonizing the global maritime sector.
The future of maritime transport depends on collective action to transition to sustainable marine fuels and cleaner technologies. Don’t miss this unparalleled opportunity to contribute to a greener maritime industry while networking with global experts and decision-makers.
