IEMA Supports the Sustainable Maritime Coalition’s 119th Congressional Leadership Letter. IEMA is pleased to support the Sustainable Maritime Coalition’s (SMC) 119th Congressional Leadership letter, advocating for policy changes to accelerate the transition to sustainable maritime fuels. Adria Jover, was among the signatories of this initiative, which calls for updates to the Clean Fuels Production Tax Credit (45Z) to explicitly include maritime fuels. Some of the highlights: - Expanding 45Z to cover methanol, methane, ammonia, LPG, biodiesel, HVO, and e-fuels, aligning U.S. policy with international maritime commitments. - Extending the 45Z tax credit through 2037 to provide long-term investment certainty. - Launching a Maritime Innovation Grand Challenge to accelerate the development of sustainable fuels and infrastructure. - Establishing a federal lead within the White House and Executive Branch to coordinate national efforts in maritime fuel policy and innovation. With the International Maritime Organization targeting a 20% reduction in emissions by 2030 and net-zero by 2050, strengthening support for low-carbon maritime fuels is essential to ensuring the U.S. remains competitive in the global maritime sector. A special thanks to Sustainable Maritime Coalition (sustainablemaritime.org) for the opportunity to contribute to this important dialogue.

Last week, IEMA participated in the One Water General Assembly, held on February 3-4 at the World Trade Center in Port de Barcelona. This event brought together the Port de Barcelona, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Veolia, Esade, and IHCantabria, to discuss pressing water-related challenges and explore opportunities for innovation, sustainability, and policy development. Adria Jover, Founder and President of IEMA, contributed to the discussions with a conference on "Sustainable Maritime Mobility: Role vs. Innovation." His session explained the Rol of IEMA and its members on working together towards the need of new regulations and policies, the importance of data and a constant collaboration for the future of the maritime industry. He presented the projects IEMA goals for this 2025. The #OneWater initiative aims to become a Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) under the EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology, to address critical water issues such as scarcity, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Was an important collaboration and goes in line with the idea of One Water to integrate innovation, education, and economic growth within Europe’s blue economy. #SustainableSolutions #Innovation #Maritime #Mobility
