Industrial innovation is meeting environmental urgency head-on. Experts like Michael Graff, formerly of Air Liquide are proving that sustainable transformation isn't just possible—it's practical. Hydrogen isn't a perfect solution, but it's rapidly becoming the avenue by which we could unlock zero-emissions potential across industries, from manufacturing to transportation. Mike joins host Victoria Meyer to discuss how the energy transition is becoming more of a reality and is no longer just a distant dream. It's a strategic revolution happening in real-time, with breakthrough technologies ready to reshape how we power our world.

A thriving hydrogen economy was a hot topic at the EU Sustainable Energy Week! We participated in inspiring discussions around hydrogen's role in promoting sustainability and STX Group’s Eunice Ribeiro highlighted the significant impact of regulation in fostering the hydrogen market within the maritime sector. Regulatory frameworks are vital to drive innovation and adoption of hydrogen-based fuels in shipping, paving the way for greener maritime transportation. Also, cross-border collaboration and hydrogen valleys are crucial to drive needed technology and infrastructure, accelerate adoption across Europe. #EUSEW2024

🌍⚓ The biggest hurdle in shipping’s decarbonisation journey? The lack of scalable and commercially viable zero-emission fuels and #technologies. While the industry is making progress with alternative fuels like #hydrogen, #ammonia, and #biofuels, the path to a green future faces some major challenges: 🚢 Fuel Availability & Infrastructure: We need more investment in production and bunkering facilities for alternative fuels. The supply chain isn’t yet ready for global demand. 💸 High Costs: From initial investments in new tech to higher operational costs, going green is expensive. Shipping companies are hesitant due to the significant capital required for retrofitting or building zero-emission vessels. ⚙️ Technological Maturity: Promising technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and #ammonia engines are still in development, with concerns about safety and large-scale use. 📝 Regulatory Uncertainty: Global regulations are evolving, but a lack of clarity makes long-term planning difficult. Will regulations align globally or remain fragmented? ⏳ Long Asset Lifecycles: #Ships have 20-30 year lifespans, which means many #vessels today will still be in operation when stricter #emissions rules come into play. 💼 Financing the Transition: Securing green finance is challenging, especially for smaller operators navigating this expensive transition. It’s clear that overcoming these hurdles will take collective action across the entire maritime value chain, from #technology innovators to #regulators and financiers. 💬 Want to continue the conversation on decarbonisation? Join us at this year’s Marine Energy Transition Forum in Antwerp! 🚢🌍 Let’s dive deeper into the challenges and solutions driving shipping’s path to a sustainable future. This #forum is your chance to connect with industry leaders, explore innovative technologies, and discuss the key issues shaping the future of marine #energy. If you're serious about the energy transition, #Antwerp is the place to be! 📅 Date: 22-23 October 2024 📍 Location: The Port House, Antwerp #Decarbonisation #MaritimeIndustry #SustainableShipping #GreenFuels #ShippingInnovation #NetZero #MarineEnergy #ShippingChallenges #FutureOfShipping #GreenTech

At the European Hydrogen Week 2024 in Brussels, our CEO Stan Zurkiewicz participated in a high-level panel discussion alongside policymakers and industry leaders about the transformative potential of the Digital Product Passport (DPP). The DPP could revolutionise transparency and sustainability across entire value chains while supporting EU product regulations. In addition to the introduction of a Digital Hydrogen Passport for the hydrogen sector, the importance of accurate data for regulatory compliance and building trust among stakeholders was also stressed. 🌱 DEKRA is committed to driving sustainability and innovation in the global economy!
