EU vil vedtage en ny lov, som har til hensigt at skabe en CO2-reduktion på 55 % i 2030 samt opnå CO2-neutralitet i 2050 for den maritime sektor. EU anslår, at den martitime sektor står for tre til fire procent af CO2-udledninger i EU.
Adina Vălean, Commissioner for Transport, udtaler: “Ships must and will shift away from fossil fuels and towards greener alternatives. With the long-term outlook of this agreement, we are sending a clear signal to the sector across the value chain, from shipowners and operators to fuel producers, shipyards and equipment manufacturers, that it is worthwhile and necessary to invest in sustainable maritime fuels and zero-emission technologies. This is fully in line with our efforts to support sustainable alternative fuels technologies under the new Net Zero Industry Act.”
