Alternative Marine Fuels

In today’s interconnected economy, cargo shipping is vital to global trade, moving raw materials and products across continents. Shipping is the most energy-efficient and least carbon-intensive among large-scale transport modes, though it still contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. ISCC certification helps demonstrate compliance with regulations and voluntary standards, supporting a low-carbon future.

Why Alternative Marine Fuels Matter

  • Cleaner fuels, innovative tech, and new practices are key to reducing climate impact while supporting efficient global trade.
  • Protecting marine and coastal environments reduces pollution and fuel residue risks.
  • Transforming the sector ensures a low-carbon future and resilient supply chains.

Market and Policy Drivers

The maritime industry is under growing pressure to reduce its climate impact while continuing to serve as a backbone of global trade:

FuelEU Maritime

Within Europe, the FuelEU Maritime Regulation sets binding requirements to accelerate the uptake of cleaner fuels and technologies, aligning with the EU’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050.

International Maritime Organization (IMO)

At the global level, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is going to adopt a complementary strategy, aiming for net‑zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid‑century.
