The European Chamber’s Maritime Manufacturing & Industrial Services Working Group is delighted to invite you to our next Working Group Meeting “Mobilising the Maritime Value Chain to form a Blueprint for Zero-emission Shipping Pilots” which is to take place on Thursday 21st January 2021, 16:00-18:00 pm.
Register online for Beijing or Shanghai, or email Charlotte Svensson at csvensson@europeanchamber.com.cn before Wednesday 20th January, COB. When you register please indicate whether you will attend the meeting in Beijing or Shanghai, or if you will attend online.
The maritime industry has no time to waste if it is to meet the IMO’s ambition of at least halving emissions by 2050. Therefore, the Getting to Zero Coalition – launched at the UN Climate Action Summit in September 2019 – is committed to the ambition of commercially viable zero-emission vessels operating by 2030. A key step towards meeting this ambition is for first movers across the maritime sector to come together in commercial-scale demonstration projects. The deployment of zero-emission vessels will require the creation of a new green value chain, involving both old and new stakeholders, which will likely be underpinned by new forms of contractual relationships.
The Getting to Zero Coalition is a partnership between the Global Maritime Forum, Friends of Ocean Action and the World Economic Forum, bringing together ambitious stakeholders form across maritime, energy, infrastructure and financial services and supported by key governments, IGOs and other stakeholders committed to decarbonisation of shipping.
At this meeting Mr. Kaspen Sogaard, Head of Research, Global Maritime Forum, and Ms Emma Skov Christiansen, Lead, Shipping Emissions & Ocean Agenda, World Economic Forum will discuss their analysis of the First Wave report.
