New policy frameworks are steering the maritime industry towards net-zero, highlighted by key agreements at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The consensus from MEPC 81, on measures such as the GHG Fuel Standard and Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) framework, has set the stage for stringent regulations by 2025, aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. Yet, the question remains: do these regulatory advances possess sufficient strength to propel the industry towards decarbonisation? To avoid a fragmented regulatory environment and steer towards a cohesive global approach, proactive innovation from all stakeholders to adapt to new operational realities and accountability will be essential.
Attendee insights:
Gain insights into the evolving maritime decarbonisation policy frameworks, what the industry can expect in the near-term from a regulatory perspective and how increasingly stringent measures are impacting stakeholders across the maritime value chain.
To enable a global low-carbon hydrogen market independent on hydrogen hub models, it is critical to solve the challenge of transporting hydrogen over long distances. Moving hydrogen, especially via pipelines and ships, presents challenges due to its low density, which requires either high-pressure compression or liquefaction to make it economically viable. Additionally, hydrogen's small molecule size leads to high rates of embrittlement and leakage, posing further challenges for pipeline material integrity and safety. To build out an effective hydrogen infrastructure system, advances in pipeline technology, robust safety protocols, and international standards for hydrogen handling are essential. Alongside these technical improvements, the implementation of supportive policies and financial incentives will be crucial to stimulate private sector investment in hydrogen transport and storage projects.
Attendee insights:
Understand the technical and economic barriers to scalable hydrogen transportation and storage networks, the innovations needed to overcome hydrogen's unique challenges and the strategies for integrating these solutions into a coherent infrastructure framework.
