ICS-IRENA agreement to collaborate in the decarbonization of shipping
The exchange of information and data is envisaged
January 17, 2022
"Our new strategic partnership with IRENA - explained the Secretary General of the ICS, Guy Platten - constitutes an essential springboard to ensure that the transport of ecological fuels be itself made "green". It is it is essential that the maritime sector continues to approach the producers and consumers in order to facilitate the transition towards zero-emission fuels and is a basic part of the solution, and not an obstacle, to the transition to zero emissions'. 'The transition to alternative fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels and electrification from renewable sources - has added Platten - could reduce by 80% the emissions of the shipping by 2050, as shown by IRENA. The agreement of partnership will also see consultation between the two bodies in order to combine opportunities for strengthening capacity and avoid duplication of resources'.
