❓ What impact do spot markets have on shipping’s ability to decarbonize?   The shipping industry is intrinsically tied to the function and fluctuation of the global market. In uncertain times, seaborne trade fulfils a vital role in bolstering the resilience of supply chains and the trade of essential commodities.   How can cargo carriers reduce their fleet’s GHG emissions, while maintaining their agility and ability to reshape commodity trade flows?   💡 Read our position paper on decarbonization trajectories to explore the measures available: https://lnkd.in/eexGH3_P   #ShapingaBetterMaritimeWorld #ShippingDecarbonization

The true cost of the goods and services that shipping delivers - that is, including a minimum price for carbon - has yet to materialise. Pretending it's not coming is not a solution. This is a well-reasoned piece and timely piece from Lloyd's List; it takes hubris to book Kylie for your Posidonia party rather than spending the money on green #methanol for example. The question we really should be asking is, what happens if the industry simply fails to comply? What - apart from approbation and hand-wringing - will be the penalty? We know what the consequences will be - we're experiencing those already. #shipping #maritime #carbon #decarbonisation #supplychain #futurefuels

It will be a game changer for the alternative fuels including biomethane.

Did you know that the shipping industry is responsible for over 80 percent of global trade volumes but also three percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions? As the world develops large-scale solutions to decarbonise this challenging sector, there are a number of immediate actions that can be taken to reduce the environmental impact of shipping. In the first instalment of Trafigura's “Connecting Vital Resources” insights series, we outline five actionable steps that the industry can take today to make a meaningful difference.

🚢 Are you ready for Fuel EU Maritime? This regulation is set to reshape the shipping industry, targeting a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Key points: ⦿Applies to commercial ships above 5,000 gross tons at EU ports. ⦿Introduces Greenhouse Gas Intensity (GHGI) to measure emissions per energy unit. ⦿Non-compliance leads to financial penalties, increasing over time. Compliance options: pay penalties, use greener fuels, or manage emissions by pooling, banking or borrowing allowances. At ZeroNorth, we’re taking action to support our customers with: ➡️ Upgraded platform for biofuel and fuel blending reporting, including proof of sustainability documentation. ➡️ GHGI performance insights and compliance simulations to explore various options. Join us in helping make Global Trade Green. #FuelEUMaritime #Sustainability #GreenShipping #Decarbonization

Decarbonise Shipping by 15-30% by 2050. Or by 30-50% now? The global shipping industry carries 80% to 90% of global trade according to @BCG and is only in the initial stages of taking meaningful action to decarbonise. Under the right conditions, it says, biogas-pathway fuels have the potential to decarbonise up to 15%-30% of global shipping by 2050. In the 15 years plus in the interim, commercial shipping operators could reduce their oil use by 30-50% immediately, by installing Tan Delta technology. #ESG #TanDeltaSystems #MarineEngine

📈 Bloomberg: Trafigura Bets Troubled CO2 Credits Market Set for Rebound Last week Bloomberg's Natasha White summarised the view of commodity trading firm Trafigura on voluntary carbon markets following COP29 with insights from Trafigura's Hannah Hauman: "Across jurisdictions, “increased and mounting regulation” designed to rein in emissions is reshaping the market for carbon credits, said Hannah Hauman, global head of carbon trading at Trafigura. The development means that a product once treated as a form of “corporate experimentation” is now set to join the ranks of “investment-grade assets and operations,” she said during a recent interview in Azerbaijan." 🌱 Erasmus Commodity & Trade Centre's recent briefing paper on carbon markets addresses the key developments shaping voluntary and compliance carbon markets.

Interesting article published by the World Economic Forum and Trafigura this week on carbon intensity - an overlooked metric key to the green transition. Leveraging differentiated carbon intensity can drive investment into low-carbon production at scale and speed, introducing competition in traditional trade. However, achieving this requires prioritizing actual data over averages to enable stakeholders to distinguish between low and high carbon sources. It suggests assessing end-to-end supply chains which is the approach Circulor takes by dynamically aggregating emissions data at each step of production, based on the actual flow of materials, to build a detailed understanding of operational and inherited emissions. This provides actionable insights into a company's environmental footprint to support their decarbonisation journey. #Decarbonization #Traceability #NetZero https://lnkd.in/eguUvzx2

First step to solving a problem is recognizing the problem - World Economic Forum new agenda blog is now live, re-surfacing the insight report: Fuelling the Future of Shipping: Key Barriers to Scaling Zero-Emission Fuel Supply. It is important to remember that there is no need to tackle every barrier simultaneously. While there may be set backs, we are on the right path - lets accelerate our road to zero.
