To comply with increasingly stringent regulations, the shipping industry must evolve in two ways: by transitioning to greener energy sources and continually optimising for efficiency. Bold change is needed to reach the IMO’s 2030 and 2040 targets - should we be optimistic that the industry is ready to meet them?
In this episode, Lora Jakobsen, Chief Purpose Activist at ZeroNorth sits down with Tristan Smith, Associate Professor at the UCL Energy Institute, to get an insider view on the vital steps needed for the maritime industry to meet ever-increasing decarbonisation targets.
Tristan and Lora discuss the steps needed for the maritime industry to meet ever-increasing decarbonisation targets, operational efficiency, the energy transition, and the importance of strong global regulations through the IMO. The conversation delves into the real-world challenges shipping companies face, behind the door at the IMO negotiations and the importance of equitable solutions for all nations involved.
The world is in a climate crisis, and all industries must do their part to reach zero emissions. Maritime trade is critical to today's society but is responsible for roughly 3% of all greenhouse gases. A future where global trade reaches zero emissions is possible. But how do we get there? In this podcast, we're sitting down with thought leaders to explore the inner workings of global trade, its massive impact on our society, and the obstacles it faces while navigating its way to zero.
