The Zero-Emission Shipping Mission is one of the the seven Mission Innovation “Missions” bringing together high-ambitious alliances between countries, corporations, investors and research institutes to reach ambitious and inspirational goals by 2030 and make sure more innovation happens, more rapidly. The Mission will demonstrate commercially-viable zero-emission ships by 2030 by focusing on the entire value chain: the ship, the fuel production, and the fuel infrastructure, driving the sector to a tipping point in its transition to well-to-wake zero-emission fuels as soon as possible. This will lay the foundation for a zero-emission shipping future and accelerate progress towards zero by 2050.
Our goals:
• By 2030, at least 5% of the global deep-sea fleet measured by fuel consumption to be made of ships capable of running on well-to-wake zero-emission fuels – such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, green methanol, and advanced biofuels.
• By 2030, at least 200 of these ships to primarily use these fuels across the main deep sea shipping routes. This will lay the foundation for increasing numbers in the following years towards a zero-emission shipping future.
• By 2030, 10 large trade ports covering at least three continents supply zero-emission fuels.
The Mission is co-led by Denmark (Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Norway (Ministry of Climate and Environment), The United States (U.S. Department of Energy) as well as Global Maritime Forum (representing the Getting to Zero Coalition), and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping. Our core mission members are India, Morocco, Singapore and the United Kingdom, and our mission support group consists of France, Ghana and South Korea.

Find more information on the important French national roadmap for decarbonization of the maritime sector via the post below - and thanks to the Zero-Emission Shipping Mission members of France for sharing with all - and for making the maritime decarbonisation a clear priority 👏
During the 2024 Assises de l'économie de la mer, one of the most important events for the French maritime industry, the DG for Maritime Affairs and the French Maritime Cluster handed an updated version of the National decarbonisation roadmad of the maritime sector to Minister Fabrice Loher, in charge of the Sea and Fisheries.
This document is a milestone for the reduction of GHG emissions of the French fleet. Jointly elaborated by the industry and the administration, the roadmap shapes the trajectory to decarbonise French ships and reach net zero in 2050, by identifying the gaps and opportunities and proposing a clear, feasible action plan to stakeholders.
The roadmaps considers the whole life cycle of ships, from shipbuilding to deconstruction, and it associates not only ship-owners but also ports, infrastructure operators and energy producers. It is indeed a crucial exercise to take a further step towards Zero-Emission Ships!

[#AEM2024] 🌬️ Durant Les Assises de l'économie de la mer, la Direction générale des affaires maritimes, de la pêche et de l'aquaculture #DGAMPA et le Cluster Maritime Français ont remis à Fabrice Loher - Ministère chargé de la Mer et de la Pêche la #FeuilleDeRouteDécarbonation révisée !
🤝 Fruit d'un travail commun entre les acteurs privés et publics, co-piloté par la #DGAMPA et le Cluster Maritime Français et soutenu par l’expertise de l’Institut MEET2050, elle permet au secteur maritime d'identifier le chemin à suivre pour réaliser sa #TransitionEcoEnergétique, notamment les freins, les leviers ainsi que les actions à mettre en œuvre pour décarboner les flottes 🇫🇷, quels que soient les types de navires et leur activité.
La #FeuilleDeRoute représente la stratégie de toute la filière car elle associe toute la chaîne de valeur : de la conception et de la construction jusqu'à la fin de vie du navire, en passant par les ports, les infrastructures et les énergéticiens. La #DGAMPA en est l'animateur et le pilote !
🚢 Cette nouvelle version explore les besoins spécifiques de certains segments de flottes à partir d'une base de données plus précises :
➡️porte-conteneurs ;
➡️grands ferries ;
➡️navires transporteurs de gaz ;
➡️grands navires de service.
Les groupes de travail présidés par Armateurs de France et le GICAN ont fourni, pour chaque segment, des travaux de #modélisation, avec les solutions #technologiques, #énergétiques et #opérationnelles associées, afin d'anticiper les choix de l'industrie et accompagner l'évolution des réglementations européennes et internationales.
🌍 Cette feuille de route n'organise pas seulement à la #transition énergétique du transport maritime. Elle contribue aussi au rayonnement international de la 🇫🇷 maritime en adoptant une position ambitieuse et en confortant la place de la France parmi les pays européens les plus avancés dans la #décarbonation.
🗣️ Eric BANEL, directeur général : "La feuille de route pour la décarbonation du maritime est un document vivant. Elle définit un cap, la #neutralité carbone, et explore les différentes routes pour y parvenir. Ces routes peuvent varier selon les types de navire et dans le temps, au gré de l'évolution des technologies.
Le document que nous proposons aujourd'hui montre la remarquable dynamique du secteur dans son ensemble et illustre la vitalité de l'écosystème de l'innovation 🇫🇷 présent avec nous aux #AEM2024. Véritable boîte à outils, il évoluera périodiquement afin d'orienter la stratégie de décarbonation des acteurs et couvrir l'ensemble du cycle de vie des navires, de leur conception jusqu’au démantèlement."
L'objectif du #NavireZéroEmission devient de plus en plus une réalité grâce à cette feuille de route !

Green corridors expand worldwide but face a "feasibility wall."
Today, the Global Maritime Forum and Getting to Zero Coalition reveal new findings on the global status of green shipping corridors – specific trade routes where the feasibility of zero-emission shipping is catalysed by public and private action.
The third edition of the "Annual Progress Report on Green Shipping Corridors" highlights a significant expansion in the number of initiatives but also makes clear that continued advancement is not a given.
📈 40% growth in green shipping initiatives this year, with six corridors nearing real-world implementation.
⚠️ Yet, progress faces a major hurdle—the high cost of zero-emission fuels and limited government policy support could stall future advances.
The report calls for urgent action to bridge the cost gap, highlighting five key recommendations for driving continued progress and unlocking a sustainable future for shipping.

Authored by Joe Boyland and Elena Talalasova, with invaluable input from Therese Jällbrink, Lau Blaxekjær, PhD, Carlo Raucci, Charlie McKinlay, Dana Rodriguez, Johan Svendsen, Anna Rosenberg, Eleanor C., Naomi van den Berg, Patrick Walison, Minerva Lim, Lotta Andersson, Mika Laurilehto, Yana Prokofyeva, Maggie Messerschmidt, Eirill Bachmann Mehammer, Aninda A., and others.
Today, in partnership with the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, we are publishing our latest paper, "Defining additionality in the voluntary book and claim market in deep-sea shipping."
This position paper proposes a unified approach to "additionality" in the deep-sea shipping sector, focusing on enhancing consistency and upholding integrity within the book-and-claim market. Book and claim is a system that allows emissions reductions or sustainable actions, such as using low-carbon fuels, to be credited and tracked within the same value-chain even if they occur separately from where the fuel is consumed. By establishing a shared interpretation of additionality aligned with shipping regulations, this paper aims to create a level playing field among market actors—including registries, issuers, buyers, and verifiers—while recognising that criteria for additionality may differ as the market evolves.
