Webinar: Green Shipping Corridors and Country Case Studies
The majority of international trade relies on shipping, which contributes around two to three percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There are global and European goals and regulations in place to move towards a carbon-neutral future. However, we need to evaluate if regulations alone are enough to drive climate neutrality in maritime transportation. What measures are necessary to shift from traditional heavy oils and fossil fuel marine diesel to more environmentally friendly alternatives? How do PtX fuels factor into this transition? Additionally, can the implementation of green shipping corridors create a sustainable market ecosystem?
To get to the bottom of these questions, the three-part webinar series “PtX Lab Talk+ Technologies, policies and fuels for fossil-free maritime transport” in collaboration with Agora Verkehrswende and PtX Lab Lausitz invites shipping experts to discuss.
On July 19, 2023, we talked about green shipping corridors, infrastructure requirements and the business opportunities for energy companies and ports and how to build a PtX ecosystem in practice with:
- Jesse Fahnestock, Project Director at Global Maritime Forum
- Vanessa Davidson, Special Project Manager at Freeport Saldanha, South Africa
This webinar on green shipping corridors and country case studies is the first webinar of the series. Find more information on second and third session here: Technologies, policies and fuels for fossil-free maritime transport - PtX Hub (ptx-hub.org)
