Transforming Shipping

Transformation of the shipping industry is scaling of clean fuels | critical factors
  • Clean ammonia: scaling up the use of green hydrogen production, with smaller roles for blue hydrogen and alternative pathways like methane pyrolysis and biomass-based hydrogen.
  • Clean methanol: replace natural gas with a clean energy source such as green hydrogen or biomass; use synthetic CO2; capture process emissions.

Robust demand from shipping can de-risk business cases for green hydrogen production that can serve multiple industries.

Global burden of shipping fuels

Industry-endorsed strategy

In 2021, we developed a Shipping Transition Strategy in collaboration with a diverse set of industry leaders. This provides a shared vision for a clean shipping future, modelling of pathways, real economy milestones and the industry, policy and finance actions required to get there. Assumptions have not been updated since publication, but the STS still represents a quantitative reference point.
