With FuelEU Maritime closing out its second year and the EU ETS for shipping its third, we now have real experience of how regulation can drive investment in maritime decarbonization -- and a clearer view of where it falls short. As IMO meetings are coming up at the end of November, now is a good time to understand how regulation becomes a business case for low-GHG fuels and technologies.
In our previous episode, we heard the legal and consulting perspectives. In this episode, host and Climate Policy Manager at the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, Joe Bettles is sitting down to discuss maritime regulation and investment with two guests very close to the matter:
— Lina Barsøe, Head of Decarbonization Pathways at DFDS, one of Northern Europe’s largest ferry and logistics operators.
— Nina Porst, Executive Director for Sustainable Ships and Skills at Danish Shipping, which represents Danish shipping companies across all segments.
In this episode we dive into:
— The state of decarbonization and electrification
— How regulations are affecting investment decision-making
— Variations in regional and global frameworks
— What incentives make a difference in business cases and how upcoming IMO meetings can address them
